Abdominal wall hernias are the most common situations requiring major surgeries. In this study, we report a large incisional hernia, as an incidental finding, in a Tc-DTPA scan of a renal transplant recepient. Increased flow of activity in dynamic phase and relatively increased and nonuniform tracer accumulation in static phase of the study were observed.
