    These bilateral masses are since birth according to the parents and may have changed marginally in size according to them. What could be the cause of these b/l masses ?

    Answer: Bilateral Lumbar Hernia

    Discussion

    It is one of the rare types of abdominal wall hernia.
    The herniation is through inferior triangle of Petit. It is bounded below by the crest of ileum, laterally by external oblique and medially by latissimus dorsi.
    It rarely gains entry into superior triangle of Petit which is bounded above by twelfth rib,medially by sacrospinalis and laterally by posterior border of external oblique.
