The proximal thigh fascial space lies immediately distal to the inguinal ligament between the deep fascia lata and the underlying muscle compartments, forming a potential space for fluid accumulation from inguinal lymph node pathology, haematoma, and lymphocele after groin surgery.
The proximal thigh fascial space is the location of post-operative lymphocele after groin lymph node dissection for melanoma, inguinal hernia repair, and femoral vessel surgery. Ultrasound demonstrates a unilocular or multilocular fluid collection in this space. CT-guided aspiration or sclerotherapy addresses lymphocele; seroma may resolve spontaneously with compression.
Lymphatic fluid collection in the proximal thigh fascial space after groin node dissection producing a fluctuant groin-to-thigh swelling, managed by serial aspiration or sclerotherapy for persistent collections.
