ABSTRACT

We presented the case of a 63 years old male patient with personal history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. He was referred to the hospital with a diagnosis of right inguinal hernia. He was brought to the operating room where a direct inguinal hernia on the right side containing the cecal appendix, unaltered within the hernia sac was observed. This condition is known as Amyand hernia.
