    Abstract:
    Inguinal masses in children may indicate different conditions and pathologies, ranging from congenital anomalies to neoplasms. Although inguinal hernias represent the majority 'masses' in the inguinal canal, there are other rare lesions that may occur. For this reason, irreducible masses shall always receive an appropriate preoperative diagnosis. In this report, we describe two interesting cases of inguinal masses in children first diagnosed as irreducible inguinal hernia. Appropriate investigations before surgery and local surgical excision are therefore recommended.
