Abstract
The canal of Nuck is a small evagination of the parietal
peritoneum, which is attached to the uterus by the
round ligament through the internal inguinal ring
into the inguinal canal. This structure is homologous
to the processus vaginalis of the male anatomy [1].
Although the canal of Nuck normally disappears
without a trace in the first year of life, it can cause an
indirect inguinal hernia or hydrocele of the canal of
Nuck when, in rare cases, it does not disappear
completely. Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck is a rare
disease that occurs in the inguinal area or labium as a
painless edema before adolescence [2]. We report the
case of a hydrocele of the canal of Nuck in a female
adult.
