Failure of obliteration of this tract can result in a hydrocele. We present a rare case of a 2-year-old girl with left-sided groin swelling, diagnosed as inguinal hernia.

Cyst of the canal of Nuck: an atypical course with cyclic changing of size. [PDF]

In a patent canal of Nuck, pathologies such as hernias and cyst can build within time. Such cysts themselves are so uncommon that they are mostly described in case reports.
