This short paper describes diagnosis and treatment considerations for endometriosis located in the canal of Nuck, drawing on a clinical case and associated discussion and referencing prior literature on this rare presentation. The high-level approach is a synthesis of reported diagnostic and management points rather than a large primary cohort, with data availability limited to raw data accessible from the corresponding author upon request. The authors do not report specific comparative outcomes or effectiveness data, and the main limitation is that the paper is brief and relies on case-level and literature context rather than broader systematic evidence. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically endometriosis of the canal of Nuck (inguinal/femoral groin region anatomy), which is a manifestation within the spectrum of endometriosis-related disease, and it does not discuss adenomyosis.
