Cyst of Canal of Nuck - next chapter From: Joanne Bulley, MD (islesannie@yahoo.com) Tue Apr 18 22:02:02 2006 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Garry E. Siegel, M.D.: "Re: hysteroscopy" Previous message: Meenan, Anna, Kevin: "Re: What to do?" Follow up on a case I posted this in Fall 04. I just heard from this patient. She e-mailed me this past week: Diagnosis: Huge Lipoma compressing inguinal and femoral nerves. She saw someone in Minnesota who got an MRI (probably due to size / past lack of diagnosis and nerve compression) Has anyone ever seen a lipoma in the are of the mons / femoral triangle? It seems to me this was one of the zebra's that had to cause more symptoms before getting the "big" test -- of the MRI. Of course she has been dealing with the mass for several years - and understandably wonders "why did it take X years and 14 doctors before someone finally did an MRI and made the diagnosis" Joanne At Wed, 22 Sep 2004, Joanne Bulley, MD wrote: > >52 yo G0 with mass in the lateral mons -- most likely a Cyst of the >Canal of Nuck -- essentially a hydrocele with probable inguinal hernia >associated with it. > >The local general surgeons seem totally unfamiliar with this.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
