Hydrocele in the Canal of Nuck is a condition of female fetal development. The Canal of Nuck is a patent tubular peritoneal fold that travels with the round ligament to its attachment on the labia major. Failure of complete obliteration of the Canal of Nuck during fetal development predisposes females to development of a hydrocele or an inguinal hernia during post-pubertal or adult stages. We present a case of a 21 year old female with a tender reducible labial mass diagnosed as a Hydrocele in the Canal of Nuck.
努克管鞘膜积液是一种女性胎儿发育异常情况。努克管是一条开放的管状腹膜皱襞,它与圆韧带一同走行至其在大阴唇的附着处。胎儿发育过程中努克管若未完全闭锁,会使女性在青春期后或成年期易患鞘膜积液或腹股沟疝。我们报告了一例了一名21岁女性病例,其阴唇有一可复性压痛包块,诊断为努克管鞘膜积液。
