Abstract

This is a case report of a congenital right labia majora hydrocele in a 13-year-old adolescent girl. Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck is a rare condition in females. A small invagination of the parietal peritoneum that fails to obliterate during the first year of life, can result in either an indirect hernia or a hydrocele of the canal of Nuck.
