Abstrakt: The presence of an inflamed or non-inflamed appendix in an inguinal hernial sac is called Amyand’s hernia and it is a rare condition. The case is presented here of a 76-year-old Greek male with a known right reducible inguinal hernia, who presented at the hospital emergency department with the symptoms and signs of incarceration of the hernia. Intraoperatively, an inflamed appendix was revealed trapped in the hernial sac. To our knowledge this is the first case of Amyand’s hernia reported in a patient in Southwestern Greece.
