  1. Objectives • To determine the proper approach to a patient presenting with inguinal mass • To determine possible differentials for inguinal mass • To determine the appropriate management of an inguinal mass

  2. Identifying Data • General Data • Gabaldon, Luis Arnel Beltran • 16 years old • Male • Student • Roman Catholic • Pasay City • Chief complaint • Bilateral inguinal mass
