Iliopsoas Mass, Hydroureter, and Back Squats: Using Biomechanics and Diagnostic Persistence to Diagnose a Germ Cell Tumor.

Conclusion: The importance of a plausible differential diagnosis combined with clinical diagnostic persistence must be stressed to all clinicians. Our patient's unrelenting inguinal pain led to a justified repeat psoas mass biopsy, imaging, and laboratory workup that led to a diagnosis of psoas germ cell tumor and immediate chemotherapy plan.
