Abstract: Hydrocele of femoral hernia is an extremely rare entity. Out of 11 reported cases of femoral hydrocele, 9 cases were of primary etiology while 2 cases of secondary etiology due to ascites. All reported cases were of unilateral femoral hydrocele only. We report a case of primary bilateral femoral hydrocele which we did not find in any medical literature even on our extensive search using PubMed, Cochrane, Google scholar, EMBASE, Medline and Scopus. This is the first reported case of bilateral femoral hydrocele in literature.
