On examination, he had soft, irreducible left inguinal swelling with positive cough impulse and no tenderness on palpation. Ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were done for him, showing a well-defined lobulated cystic lesion located between subcutaneous and deep fascia measuring around 6.5 × 4.2 × 8.1 cm with multiple internal septations. The lesion shows Low signal intensity in the T1 weighted image and high signal intensity in the T2 weighted image. 97 % alcohol was injected under US guidance and aspirated after 30 min.

Differential diagnoses include inguinal hernia, hydrocele of the cord, lymphadenopathy, or hematoma.

Complete surgical excision is the gold standard for the management with the lowest risk of recurrence.
