ABSTRACT
We present a report of two adult females who presented to the surgery clinic at different time frames in our hospital with a swelling in the inguinal region. The swelling was painful for one of our patients. The first patient was evaluated with a contrast-enhanced CT and an MRI, while the second patient underwent a ultrasonography and an MRI. Imaging revealed the structure to be cystic in nature and confirmed the diagnosis as a hydrocele of the canal of Nuck in both patients. Our second patient was also found to have concomitant endometriosis, with internal septations seen in the hydrocele. Aspiration revealed altered blood with haemosiderin deposition, which established a diagnosis of endometriosis of the canal of Nuck. The first patient underwent excision, while the second patient refused a surgical approach and opted for medical management for endometriosis.
