ABSTRACT

Introduction: Nuck's cysts are rare pathologies and are difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Case presentation: a 40-year-old patient, with pain in the right inguinal region, initially diagnosed as an inguinal hernia by ecography, during the diagnostic laparoscopy no inguinal hernial defect was evidenced, so the entire inguinal canal was explored. Finding the presence of a 35 × 20 mm cystic lesion that was completely resected and preformed polypropylene mesh was placed, the histopathological study reported a multiloculated mesothelial cyst compatible with a Nuck's cyst. Conclusions: it's a rare pathology, when the presence of a hernial defect is not observed in the transoperative, the entire inguinal region should be explored and the inguinal hernioplasty and mesh placement should be continued in a conventional surgery.
