    AbstractA cyst of the canal of Nuck is a rare cystic structure along the inguinal canal extending to the labium majus, which forms due to non-obliterated processus vaginalis. In female patients presenting with painless swelling in the groin or labium, in addition to strangulated hernia, a cyst of the canal of Nuck should be considered. This paper presents a case of a 38-year woman with a right-sided cyst of the canal of Nuck and right inguinal hernia and its clinical and diagnostic features, differential diagnosis, and treatment. Laparoscopic diagnosis and total extraperitoneal hernioplasty (TEP) offer a useful alternative in patients with a superimposed inguinal hernia on top of the cyst of the canal of Nuck. Key Words: Cyst, Laparoscopic surgery, Inguinal hernia, Canal of Nuck.
