Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck: a case report with magnetic resonance hydrography findings.

Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck, also called the "female hydrocele," is a rare developmental disorder in females. This entity is now believed to be more common now in comparison with previous reports; however, it is still an unfamiliar problem for physicians.

A patient with advanced gastric cancer, underwent curative gastrectomy and partial resection of metachronous hepatic metastases, is surviving for 13 years to date.

We have reported a successful case of curative partial liver resection of metachronous liver metastasis from advanced gastric cancer. The patient was 56 years old and has undergone total gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection (2 type, well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, H0P0n0se, Stage 2). At 18 months later, follow-up ultrasound detected liver metastasis in the right posterior segment.
