ABSTRACT

Nuck canal cyst is a cystic pathology of the inguinal region formed as a result of the defective closure of the processus vaginalis in females. Two cystic masses of 3x3 and 3x2 cm were detected at the groin region of two female cases with ages of 5 and 3 years old, respectively, and the patients were operated with the initial diagnosis of sliding hernia. Histopathological examination of the cystic masses in both the patients revealed the diagnosis of Nuck canal cyst. A review of literature was herein made presenting these two cases diagnosed to have Nuck canal cyst.
