Mesothelial cyst of the round ligament is a rare finding in females, with only a few cases reported so far. A case of a 25 year old female patient presenting with a palpable mass in her right inguinal region is presented. The preoperative investigation through ultrasound (U/S), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed the presence of an intraabdominal cystic lobular mass in the inguinal canal, in contact with the femoral vessels. The mass was excised and the diagnosis of a benign mesothelial cyst was made through pathological examination. Even though it is a rare condition, it is advisable that clinicians consider in the differential diagnosis when evaluating a non-reducible mass in the inguinal region of a female patient.
圆韧带间皮囊肿在女性中是一种罕见的发现，迄今为止仅有少数病例报道。本文介绍了一例25岁女性患者，其右腹股沟区可触及肿块。通过超声（U/S）、计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）进行的术前检查显示，腹股沟管内有一个腹腔内囊性小叶肿块，与股血管相连。肿块被切除，通过病理检查确诊为良性间皮囊肿。尽管这是一种罕见疾病，但临床医生在评估女性患者腹股沟区不可复性肿块时，建议将其纳入鉴别诊断。
