Cyst of the canal of Nuck as a «mask» of endometriosis
This case report describes a histologically confirmed cyst of the canal of Nuck that mimicked an endometrioid cyst of the inguinal canal preoperatively based on clinical presentation.

This paper reports a clinical case of a patient with a histologically confirmed cyst of the canal of Nuck whose preoperative history, imaging, and physical findings resembled an endometriotic cyst of the inguinal canal. The key message is that a cyst of the canal of Nuck can present as a diagnostic “mask” mimicking endometriosis based on available preoperative data. A major limitation is that the evidence is based on a single case report rather than systematic analysis, so generalization beyond this presentation is not addressed. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it describes a canal of Nuck cyst that mimicked an endometriotic inguinal lesion preoperatively.
