description INTRODUCTION: Inguinal hernia may contain vermiform appendix in very rare cases. This particular condition is known as Amyand’s hernia and it has an incidence of 1%. Diagnosis is very difficult preoperatively, so it is usually an incidental finding. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a case of a 80 year old man with an irreducible mass in right inguinal region. During surgical procedure an Amyand’s hernia was identified and we performed hernioplasty sec Trabucco and appendectomy. DISCUSSION: According to Losanoff and Basson classification, our case was type 1 and its management is very controversial. CONCLUSION: Surgical treatment depends on surgeon’s experience and on clinical evaluation because there are many factors that may increase morbidity and mortality.
