Ovarian Hernia: A rarity.

چکیده
Ovarian hernias are extremely rare. The prevalence of ovaries and fallopian tubes in operable inguinal hernias is only about 2.9%. We report here an unusual case of an ovary in a hernia sac in an adult female. She presented with symptoms and signs of an incarcerated left inguinal hernia. The left ovary contained a haemorrhagic cyst and, along with the left fallopian tube and broad ligament, these were found in the sac. She underwent a left ovarian cystectomy and the inguinal hernia was repaired with mesh.

متن کاملA rare presentation of caviar appendix in an Amyand’s hernia

The rarity and heterogenic clinico-pathological presentation of an appendiceal neo...
