Popis: Abdominal masses can often clinically mimic hernias, especially when they are located close to hernial orifices. Imaging findings can be challenging and nonspecific with numerous differential diagnoses. We present a variety of pathology involving the abdominal wall and lumbar region, which were referred as possible hernias. This demonstrates the wide-ranging pathology that can present as abdominal wall lesions or mimics of hernias that the radiologist should be alert to.
