PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Inguinal adenopathy.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Probable fat necrosis of spermatic cord (path came back right groin tissue: Benign organizing fat necrosis with associated focal chronic inflammation)
PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Excision of right groin nodule.
ANESTHESIA: General
PROCEDURE: Under general anesthesia administered by Dr. XX, a small incision was made overlying the area of the external inguinal ring where the mass was palpable. Dissection was carried down to what appeared to be the spermatic cord. In dissecting this, there was noted to be some edema and an area of what appeared to be either a small lymph node or fat necrosis.
This was excised and delivered for permanent sections. The area was cauterized for hemostasis and closed with Vicryl sutures in the deep tissue and intracuticular Monocryl and Steri-Strips for skin closure.
Thanks for any help!!!
