Abstract
Abstract. Amyand’s hernia is an inguinal hernia that contains the cecal appendix inside. It is a rare entity and its discovery is generally made intraop-eratively. We present the case of a older male adult, with a soft tumor, with pro-gressive increase in volume, in the right inguinal region accompanied by local pain, reducible at rest. During surgery, a hernial sac was found with an enlarged cecal appendix inside it, with signs of inflammation. An appendectomy was per-formed. The hernia sac was reintroduced and the posterior wall of the inguinal canal was repaired (Lichtenstein and Bassini mixed technique). Postoperative evolution was satisfactory.
