  • Title: Obstructing sigmoid cancer in a patient with a large, tender, non-reducible inguinal hernia: the obvious diagnosis is not always the correct one.
    Author: Sakorafas GH, Peros G.
    Journal: Eur J Cancer Care (Engl); 2008 Jan; 17(1):72-3. PubMed ID: 18181894.
    Abstract:
    We present a 85-year-old patient with intestinal obstruction and a large, tender, non-reducible right inguinal hernia. He was operated with the presumed diagnosis of strangulated inguinal hernia. At surgery, a perforated obstructing sigmoid colon was diagnosed. A sigmoidectomy (Hartman procedure) and hernia repair (Bassini technique) was performed.
