A Case of Femoral Hernia with Incarceration of the Appendix

We reported a rare case of femoral hernia with incarceration of the appendix together with observations from the literature. A 53-year-old woman with right lower abdominal pain and a right inguinal tumor was with a femoral hernia and underwent surgery. Intraoperative findings showed incarceration of the necrotic appendix.Appendectomy was followed by mesh plug hernioplasty. The postoperative course was uneventful, and she was discharged hospital day 4. It is thus important to consider incarceration of the appendix in a diagnosis of femoral hernia that shows no symptoms of ileus.
