The canal of Nuck was first described by Anton Nuck in 1691. It is an abnormal pouch of peritoneum similar to processus vaginalis in males. It can give rise to a hydrocele or form a cyst in women. It can be mistaken for an inguinal hernia and is often detected only during surgery, It is supposed to be a rare finding and only about 400 cases have been reported so far. Here is the link to the original article!http://reader.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/fs1/object/goToPage/bsb11268766.html?pageNo=146
I did a surgery recently which had these findings and am just doing a literature search for the same.
