Rule Out

The exact incidence of round ligament varicosities (RLV) is uncertain, due to the fact that there are few cases reported in the literature, and in many cases, they can be confused with inguinal hernias. A 26-year-old female with 26.3 weeks of gestation by date of last menstruation, who went to the emergency service of the Naval Regional Hospital of Tampico with the presence of an increase in volume in the left inguinal region, accompanied by pain, which increased standing and decreasing with the dorsal decubitus, the physical examination confirmed an increase in volume at the left inguinal level. An ultrasound of the inguinal region was requested to rule out an inguinal hernia as the first diagnosis, Doppler ultrasound revealed RLV. The patient was treated conservatively and at two weeks after the resolution of the pregnancy, the RLV presented a spontaneous regression and her symptoms completely resolved. This is the first case of round ligament varicosities reported in present institution. It is important to be aware of this pathology, to perform extension studies (Doppler ultrasound) to avoid unnecessary surgery in pregnant women.

Round Ligament Varicosity

Round ligament varicosities occur almost exclusively in pregnant and postpartum women and present similarly to inguinal hernias clinically, thus posing diagnostic challenges to clinicians. The distinction of the two conditions is important as round ligament varicosities do not require surgery while inguinal hernias do. Rarely, round ligament varicosites may be complicated by thrombosis or hemorrhage. In this case report, we present a rare case of round ligament varicosity (RLV) which has been complicated by thrombosis. The radiological features on ultrasound and contrast computed tomography of a thrombosed RLV are presented.

Gynecologic Tumors

Leiomyomas are common benign gynecologic tumors occurring in up to 30% of women. Round ligament leiomyomas however are very rare and, if symptomatic, can present as an inguinal hernia. We report the case of a 47-year-old woman who presented with an irreducible inguinal mass consistent with an incarcerated hernia. Intraoperatively, the mass was found to be a round ligament leiomyoma, a diagnosis that was confirmed by histopathology following excision of the mass. Although rare, round ligament leiomyomas should be part of the differential diagnosis of an inguinal hernia in females.
