Canal of Nuck cysts/hydroceles are rare occurrences in females of all age groups. We describe a case of a female neonate presenting with a labial mass which sonographically resembled a testicle. Upon surgical exploration, it was found to be a hydrocele of the canal of Nuck. We also review the literature on canal of Nuck cysts/hydroceles in the pediatric age group.

Extra-intestinal manifestations such as pyoderma gangrenosum and pulmonary nodules in Crohn's disease are rarely reported in the pediatric population. We report a 17-year-old female who presented with fulminant pyoderma gangrenosum and pulmonary nodules, as a diagnostic challenge. A review of treatment for Crohn's disease and pyoderma gangrenosum are discussed.
