Abstract

The abdominal wall hernia and, of course, the inguinocrural hernia, has accompanied man since his creation. It is also a defect that is seen, noticed, when palpating with the hands. Today, it is recognized as in ancient times; it is a disease with an external projection on the skin and, presumably, was known by simple observation. The case of a patient with a stuck right inguinal hernia is reported. During surgery, a translucent hernia sac was found. It contained a liquid inside and was considered to be as a cyst of Nuck. Its thin pedicle was ligated and the back wall was repaired. A biopsy of the specimen was indicated. The patient improved. The histology report from Pathology was: hernia sac with the presence of fallopian tube and ovary that arouses interest because there are no cases reported with this type of content.
