Hydrocoele of a femoral hernia sac is an extremely rare entity. Extensive literature review and Internet searching revealed only a few authentically reported cases. It mostly occurs in females during the fourth to sixth decades of life. The most common clinical presentation is groin swelling. It is diagnosed as an irreducible or incarcerated femoral hernia or subcutaneous lipoma. In almost all of the reported cases, the diagnosis of hydrocoele of a femoral hernia sac has been made only after surgical exploration. The present case is a 40-year-old lady who presented with a painless lump in the right groin and was diagnosed as a case of hydrocoele of a femoral hernia sac only after exploration.
