Beschreibungen/Notizen

• A retroperitoneal microfilarial lymph varix presenting as inguinal swelling is very rare. The clinical presentation of an inguinal lymph varix mimics that of an inguinal hernia. Here, we are reporting a case of bilateral inguinal swelling clinically diagnosed as an inguinal hernia, which eventually turned out to be a large retroperitoneal microfilarial lymph varix mimicking as an inguinal hernia.
