case_images: Physical examination revealed a soft, cystic, non-compressible, and non-fluctuant labial mass measuring approximately 5 cm x 3 cm (Fig. 2A). The cystic lesion was sent to histopathologic evaluation and tissue dissection; it was confirmed to be a non-communicated hydrocele of canal of Nuck (Fig. 2B).
case_images: (A) Histopathology showing a cyst wall lined by a single layer of flattened epithelial (mesothelial) cells and containing bundles of smooth muscle fibers (hematoxylin-eosin/H&E/, 10x) and (B) immunohistochemical staining for calretinin confirmed the mesothelial origin of the surface epithelium of the cyst (10x).
