CASE REPORT
Our patient presented to the paediatric emergency department in 2006, when he was 14 years old, with a painful right lower abdominal mass; examination also revealed swelling of the right extremity. The ultrasound of the right extremity showed right femoral vein thrombosis extending up to the iliac vein. The patient underwent a computed tomography (CT) scan (figure 1) which suggested that instead of being a hernia, the mass was either caused by lymphadenopathy or dilated vessels. The patient underwent a magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) (figure 2).
