    A 32-year-old man complains of right scrotal swelling for one week. He noticed it after carrying a big screen TV. His past medical, surgical and family histories are unremarkable. Examination reveals enlarged right scrotal mass that can be reduced by pushing it back through the external inguinal ring. Upon coughing, it protrudes with no pain or tenderness. Testicles appear normal in both sides.
    What is your diagnosis?. What are the contents of the inguinal canal?. What is the main complication of this condition?
