Popis: Introduction: Inferior Lumbar hernia is a rare abdominal hernia and clinical suspicion is necessary for diagnosis. Case presentation: We report the case of a 35-year-old lady with a reducible inferior lumbar hernia. The hernia was repaired with prolene mesh. The patient was free of recurrence at 6 months after the operation. Conclusion: A lumbar or flank mass should always raise suspicion of a lumbar hernia. Adequate surgical treatment should be planned on the basis of etiology and hernia size. Both open and laparoscopic techniques can be used with good results
