The cyst of the Nuck canal often called female hydrocele is a rather rare pathology due to the persistence of the peritoneo-vaginal canal in women. Frequently described and observed in pediatric settings, its revelation in adulthood is very rare and has been very much described in the literature. We report here the case of a 20-year-old patient, with a history of right inguinal herniated cure not strangled in childhood, with the notion of appendectomy 07 months ago. The reason for consultation was a hyperalgic and disabling right inguinfaction evolving in an apyretic context without transit disorders. Emergency abdominal ultrasound revealed a cystic formation in relation to the right inguinal ligament, oblong in shape, with finely echogenic contents, fine wall, no partition, no vegetation, or endokystic intestinal content. The exploration was supplemented by an abdominal CT scan. This observation reveals the place of imaging in the differential diagnosis of painful pelvic swelling in women.
