Pol Przegl Chir. 2018 May 16;90(3):47-52. doi: 10.5604/01.3001.0011.6131.

Abstract

Round ligament mesothelial cyst is a rare cause of inguinal mass. Round ligament cysts are generally diagnosed during operation in cases who are operated with a pre-diagnosis of inguinal hernia. In this study, we aim to present two cases, who have applied to our clinic with the complaint of a mass in inguinal region and who are diagnosed as round ligament cyst, together with their ultrasound, magnetic resonance images and operation images.

Keywords: Cysts; Inguinal heria; Round Ligament.
