A rare condition similar to inguinal hernia in pregnancy: A case of bilateral varicose veins of round ligament of uterus.

Round ligament varicosities (RLV) are a very rare cause of an inguinal mass, which is very similar to an inguinal hernia, and should be taken seriously by women, especially in mid-pregnancy. Ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis of the RLV and can prevent unnecessary interventions. We report a case of a patient with bilateral RLV: the primigravida was 31 years old, G1P0, gestation 30+2w. The patient presented to the clinic 1 month ago due to the discovery of bilateral inguinal masses. After the diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound, this patient received regular reviews during labor and delivery and is currently in good maternal condition. The patient came to the clinic 1 month after the discovery of bilateral inguinal area masses for 1 month.
