Hello,
In the groin area usually, the hernia is a common one.
It can be a hernia or some soft tissue lesion. But to confirm the nature of the lesion, physical examination should be done.
If it is hernia than surgical management is the only treatment.
If it is soft tissue lesion than FNAC is needed to rule out nature of lesion whether inflammatory or other neoplastic origins.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
