Abstract

Summary A case of herniation of the transverse colon into an inguinal hernia is presented. An accompanying and related distortion and displacement of the stomach caused by traction on the gastrocolic ligament gave rise to a radiographic picture that was confused with a retrogastric mass. Surgical repair of the hernia restored both stomach and colon to their normal positions.
