    IntroductionA deep soft tissue smooth muscle tumour is a rare entity with few cases described in the literature.Materials And MethodsHerein, we report a case of a smooth muscle tumour of the right inguinal area which presented as a painful mass. This case is unique because of the anatomic location of the tumour, which has not been reported before, and the clinical presentation of this tumour mimicked a hernia.ConclusionSmooth muscle tumours in the inguinal area are an exceptionally rare occurrence, but clinicians should always consider less routine causes for a painful inguinal mass.
