    A 4-week-old male infant presented with a groin swelling, revealing bilateral megaureters during surgery and imaging. This case highlights the importance of considering urinary tract anomalies in pediatric groin masses.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Urology
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Groin swelling in infants can be associated with various congenital anomalies.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for optimal outcomes in pediatric surgical cases.

    Observation:

    • A 4-week-old male infant presented with a right groin swelling.
    • Surgical exploration for a presumed hernia revealed an unexpected finding.

    Findings:

    • The surgical procedure identified a megaureter during herniotomy.
    • Intravenous urography (IVU) confirmed the presence of bilateral megaureters.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the association between inguinal hernias and congenital urinary tract abnormalities.
