Although rare, many congenital, inflammatory and
neoplastic lesions occur in the round ligament of the uterus.
True cystic swellings, such as dermoid and epidermoid cysts
are extremely rare. We report a rare case of epidermoid cyst
of round ligament of uterus, which presented clinically as an
inguinal hernia.
