Pediatric inguinal swelling occurs mostly from inguinal hernias, especially in boys. However, various lesions can be found in the inguinal or groin in boys as well as girls. Therefore, it is important to consider the different features and characteristics of masses in the inguinal or groin area to exclude other causes, such as congenital anomalies, infections, and neoplasms. Therefore, it is essential for radiologists to be familiar with imaging features of various inguinal lesions. In this exhibit, we will systematically review diverse causes of inguinal swelling in boys and girls. Multimodality imaging features and practical approach to the inguinal swelling will be presented.

1. Embryology of inguinal and scrotal area  2. Anatomy of inguinal area 3. Cause of inguinal swelling in boys and girls    Inguinal hernia/femoral hernia    Inguinal lymphadenopathy or lymphadenitis    Spermatic cord hydrocele    Testes: retractile, ectopic, or undescended    Various tumors: lipoblastoma, lymphangioma, lymphoma 3. Multimodality imaging features according to the causes of inguinal swelling 4. Summary
