What Causes A Mass At The Site Of Inguinal Hernia Repair?

I had a ct scan yesterday and the results showed a golf ball sized mass right where my inguinal hernia was repaired 8 years ago. I am meeting with a surgeon next week, but just wanted to know if it could be adhesions or something else related to the hernia repair.
