    Recurrent Inguinal Hernia vs. Malgaigne’s Bulge vs. Preperitoneal Lipoma regrowth

    Here are my thoughts:

    – preperitoneal fat through the inguinal canal is a hernia.
    РMalgaign̩ refers to a bulging without defect or protrusion of contents
    – inguinal hernias are best repaired if symptomatic of increasing in size.
    – MRI pelvis may be misread or under diagnosed by the radiologist for a hernia recurrence, especially given the ultrasound finding.
    – laparoscopic surgery would be my recommendation if recurrent hernia requires surgery.
