Veins

Looks like

A vein running from the inner thigh through the obturator canal along the pelvic side wall.

Drains the adductor muscles and hip into the internal iliac vein.

Often links to the external iliac vein across the pubic bone; this 'corona mortis' can bleed badly in hernia or pelvic fracture surgery.
