(Can J Plast surg 12(2):73–5, 2004). Here we report a case of a 23-year-old lady who presented with a swelling in the right groin, and later underwent an open excision biopsy of the same. The histopathology was reported as endometriosis of canal of Nuck.\nReferences\nCervini P, Wu L, Shenker R, O enkerc C, Mahoney J (2004) Endometriosis in the canal of Nuck: atypical manifestations in an unusual location.
