| Popis: | Femoral hydroceles, or femoroceles, are a rare differential for the irreducible groin lump. A healthy 68-year-old lady presents to the surgical outpatient clinic with bilateral groin lumps. CT imaging of the region demonstrates a left inguinal hernia containing unobstructed small bowel and a right inguinal cyst most suggestive of a canal of Nuck cyst. An intraoperative diagnosis of a femorocele was made, and the defect was repaired using a mesh plug. The patient was discharged home the same day and made an uncomplicated recovery in the community. A comprehensive literature review was performed on this pathology—identifying 15 other cases within English medical literature. |
