    Hello Dr Mazumdar,

    Since this patient has a PALPABLE groin, he needs CT Contrast of TAP(Thorax, Abdo n pelvis). 
    (Attaching EAU recommendation for this)

    There is no confusion regarding palpable inguinal lymphadenopathy:
    This patient needs upfront modified inguinal lymph node dissection. If >2 LN are positive during this surgery(frozen) then one has to proceed with conversion to radical ilioinguinal block dissection which should also include the pelvic nodes. Also, opposite groin superficial LN dissection should be done. 
    All these are based on EAU recommendations and they don’t advise FNAC anymore for palpable LNs. 

    NCCN on the other hand guides us to do a FNAC as Anil sir has suggested and then proceed as per the attachment provided.

    If frozen not availabl,  go for ipsilateral 

    radical inguinal lymphadenectomy(as per EAU). Also do superficial LN dissection on opp side. 

    Or u can choose to follow NCCN—>Do FNAC. If positive, do radical inguinal LNectomy. 
    If negative, do excision biopsy of LN. If excision biopsy is +ve do radical inguinal LNectomy. If negative then surveillance.
