An 80-Year-Old Man with Left Groin Pain.

Abstract

AbstractMorning Report is a time-honored tradition where physicians-in-training present cases to their colleagues and clinical experts to collaboratively examine an interesting patient presentation. The Morning Report section seeks to carry on this tradition by presenting a patient's chief concern and story, inviting the reader to develop a differential diagnosis and discover the diagnosis alongside the authors of the case. This report examines the story of an 80-year-old man with progressively worsening left groin pain following a fall 1 week prior to presentation. Using questions, physical examination, and diagnostic testing, an illness script for the presentation emerges; the differential is refined until a final diagnosis is made.
