Abstract

Primary appendicitis presenting in a hernia sac is uncommon. Diagnosis depends on a high index of suspicion. The authors present a case report of a 65-year-old male with a two-day history of a painful irreducible right inguinal mass; he denied abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, or chills.
