Abstract

The finding of an appendix in the hernial sac is termed Amyand's hernia. There have been a few reports of perforated appendix in the hernial sac (right-sided) mimicking testicular torsion. We report an extremely rare case of a left-sided inguinal hernial containing sac containing perforated appendix which was never thought of in the preoperative assessment.
