  • Title: Colonic carcinoma presenting as strangulated inguinal hernia: report of two cases and review of the literature.
    Author: Slater R, Amatya U, Shorthouse AJ.
    Journal: Tech Coloproctol; 2008 Sep; 12(3):255-8. PubMed ID: 18798013.
    Abstract:
    Inguinal hernia and colonic carcinoma are common surgical conditions, yet carcinoma of the colon occurring within an inguinal hernia sac is rare. Of 25 reported cases, only one was a perforated sigmoid colon carcinoma in an inguinal hernia. We report two cases of sigmoid colon carcinoma, one of which had locally perforated. Each presented within a strangulated inguinal hernia. Oncologically correct surgery in these patients presents a technical challenge.
