| Abstract: | The presence of vermiform appendix, whether normal or inflamed in the inguinal hernia, is referred to as Amyand’s hernia. This is rare occurring in about 1% of inguinal hernias in adults. This is a report of Amyand’s hernia, which presented as a component along with partially necrotic omentum with metastasis in a 75 year old male patient. Appendicectomy followed by hernia repair using synthetic mesh was performed with an uneventful recovery. |
