Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck is a rare disorder in females. A 50‐year‐old female presented with the complaint of swelling and occasional pain in the right groin. Sonographic examination revealed a proximal dilatation at the inguinal canal with a 3‐cm ovoid, septated cystic lesion at the distal end. The mass appeared as a simple cyst on MRI. Valsalva's maneuver during real‐time sonography helped differentiate the hydrocele of the canal of Nuck from an inguinal hernia. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2007
