A Mesothelial Cyst Presenting as Inguinal Mass: Two Case Reports and Literature Review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The differential diagnosis of inguinal mass such as hernia, hydrocele, spermatocele, undescended testes, spermatic cord cyst, lymphangioma, lymphadenopathy, and abscess varies. Mesothelial cysts of inguinal area are extremely rare. We report the cases of a 66-year-old woman with a slowly enlarging mass in the left groin for several years, and a 58-year-old man with a 7-day history of right groin pain and swelling. Excision of cystic mass was done and the mass was pathologically confirmed mesothelial cyst which is a rare cause of inguinal mass. The literature on preoperative diagnosis of mesothelial cyst in groin is also reviewed. J Curr Surg. 2018;8(3-4):38-40 doi: https://doi.org/10.14740/jcs350w

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
