摘　　要：Herein the authors describe the case of a young woman presenting with a tender lump in her groin.Clinically the differential was of either a reactive lymph node or a femoral hernia.Ultrasound scan was urgently arranged and showed a cystic lesion.Surgical exploration was carried out and revealed this to be a hydrocele of the canal of Nuck.This was excised and the patient’s symptoms resolved and she was discharged home the following day.We explore the embryology,pathophysiology and management of this rare entity.
