ABSTRACT
Background: De Garengeot’s hernia describes the presence of the vermiform appendix within femoral hernia. It’s still a rare surgical phenomenon. We report two case of acute appendicitis mimicking an irreducible femoral hernia, discuss the surgical judgments through a literature review. Methods and Results: Two female patients aged 57 and 76 years who presented with a history of right groin pain and swelling were reported. Physical examination revealed a right groin mass in the femoral region, which was painful on examination and normal abdominal findings except bilateral lower quadrant tenderness. The patients underwent surgery. During exploration of the right groin region, a strangulated femoral hernia sac containing appendicitis was detected. Hernia were repaired with prosthetic material and appendectomy were performed to these patients. The patients were discharged home uneventfully. Conclusion: Presentation of appendicitis in femoral hernia is a atypical localization of appendicitis but surgeons should be aware of this existence.
Key-words: Acute appendicitis, De Gerengeot’s hernia, femoral hernia, incarcerated hernia
