• Image 1 & 2. High frequency probe revealed an inguinal cystic structure, irregularly delimited, well contoured, not encapsulated, inhomogeneous by the presence of fibrillar structures located at the lower pole.
• Image 3. No cough impulse visible. The echoes did not mobilize in real time. It was not related to the inguinal vascular elements and there were no visible vessels on Doppler colour.
• Image 4. The analysis of the upper pole of the lesion reveals the amputated fibrillar structure which is visible in the rest of the groin region.
• Image 5. The panoramic image shows the relationship between fluid accumulation and the fibrillar structure of the upper pole.
