Abstract
Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is an entrapment syndrome of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve characterized by tingling, numbness, itching and burning pain, and dysesthesia in anterolateral aspect of thigh. In this case report, we present a 37-year-old non-obese female with 2-month history of progressive pain and tingling on the anterolateral side of right thigh. Clinical features of patient were consistent with MP, which was confirmed via electrodiagnostic study. Subsequent abdominopelvic and transvaginal sonography revealed a mass-like lesion measuring 92 × 61 mm in right adnexa adjacent to the right ovary. Following diagnosis, the patient underwent cystectomy, resulting in immediate resolution of symptoms. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive evaluation in patients presenting with MP symptoms, including consideration of abdominopelvic pathology as a potential contributing factor.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
