Nuck's canal cyst: A case report

Abstract

Introduction: Nuck canal cyst is a rare condition that occurs due to the patency of the vaginal process in women, manifesting as indirect inguinal hernia. Clinically, it presents as a tumor in the inguinal region, which can extend to the labia majora. Case report: we present a report of a young female patient who was admitted to the emergency room with severe pain associated with tumoration in the left inguinal and umbilical region, with suspected incarcerated umbilical and/or femoral hernia, having undergone emergency surgery. Conclusion: Due to the rarity of the case, little is known about it, since there are few reports in the literature, and therefore it is often undiagnosed.
