This paper is a case report titled “Canal of Nuck Endometrioma: An Uncommon Site of a Common Pathology,” describing an endometrioma occurring in the canal of Nuck, a rare location that can present as a female groin mass. The authors report imaging and clinical details associated with this uncommon presentation and emphasize differential diagnosis considerations for groin cystic lesions. A key limitation is that, as a single case report, it cannot establish prevalence, prognostic implications, or causal mechanisms beyond the described patient. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically an endometrioma in the canal of Nuck.
