Sumario:Mullerian cysts are rare cystic lesions that represent remnants of Mullerian ducts. The clinical presentation usually involves swelling or symptoms of large cyst-size compression of adjacent structures. The preoperative diagnosis is very challenging due to the lack of specific features, and the precise diagnosis is reached with histopathological examination. In this report, we discuss a case involving a 26-year-old woman who visited our clinic with complaints of swelling in her left inguinal region. The patient was operated on as a case of a suspected left inguinal hernia, but the histopathological examination of the excised mass was consistent with the diagnosis of a Mullerian cyst.
