Ovarian hernia : a rarity

الملخص EN

Ovarian hernias are extremely rare.

The prevalence of ovaries and fallopian tubes in operable inguinal hernias is only about 2.9 %.

We report here an unusual case of an ovary in a hernia sac in an adult female.

She presented with symptoms and signs of an incarcerated left inguinal hernia.

The left ovary contained a hemorrhagic cyst and, along with the left fallopian tube and broad ligament, these were found in the sac.

She underwent a left ovarian cystectomy and the inguinal hernia was repaired with mesh.
