Canal of Nuck cyst masquerading as a testicle in a neonate: A case report and review of the literature
Journal Title: Pediatric Urology Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Canal of Nuck cysts/hydroceles are rare occurrences in females of all age groups. We describe a case of a female neonate presenting with a labial mass which sonographically resembled a testicle. Upon surgical exploration, it was found to be a hydrocele of the canal of Nuck. We also review the literature on canal of Nuck cysts/hydroceles in the pediatric age group.
