Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck. A report of four cases

P R Kucera et al. J Reprod Med. 1985 May.

Abstract

Hydrocele formation in the incompletely obliterated processus vaginalis (canal of Nuck) is an uncommon and infrequently reported finding in women. Approximately one-third of cases are associated with inguinal herniae. Surgical exploration permits excision of the hydrocele and repair of any coexisting fascial defect.
