Abstract
De Garengeot's hernia (DGH) is a rare entity in which the vermiform appendix is located within the femoral hernia sac. Even though DGH is known to be more common in females, we report a case of a male patient having undergone Bassini-type inguinal hernia repair over 40 years ago. We present the preoperative diagnostic measures and an example of the surgical management of this rare entity. 2015 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.Entities:
