Mesothelial cyst

Mesothelial cyst

Clinical features Mesothelial cyst (cyst of the canal of Nuck) presents as a lesion varying in size from less than 1โ€ฏcm to 5โ€ฏcm or more. It arises on the upper and lateral aspect of the labium majus at the level of the insertion of the round ligament. Some cases are associated with an inguinal hernia. Simple excision is curative.

Histologic features Microscopic examination reveals a unilocular cavity lined by a single layer of flattened mesothelial cells.1
