Abstract
Many different pathological processes can present as an incarcerated inguinal hernia. We present an unusual case of sigmoid diverticular abscess presenting as a left incarcerated inguinal hernia and review the literature on this subject. This was treated with open drainage of the abscess cavity and laparotomy with segmental sigmoid resection and primary anastomosis.Entities:
