A case of uncomplicated round ligament varices mimicking an irreducible inguinal hernia in the third trimester of pregnancy is presented. The clinical and ultrasound features, pathophysiology and the role of conservative management are discussed. Non-surgical treatment led to spontaneous regression after delivery.

Survival benefit has been demonstrated in patients treated with chemoradiation followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with epirubicin as compared with patients treated with standard pelvic radiotherapy alone.
