  • Title: [Carcinoma of the sigmoid colon in an incarcerated inguinal hernia].
    Author: Nárožný V.
    Journal: Rozhl Chir; 2014 Nov; 93(11):554-6. PubMed ID: 25418944.
    Abstract:
    Inguinal hernias may contain the small or large bowel. About 10% of inguinal hernias become incarcerated, causing strangulation, bowel obstruction or infarction. Malignant lesions in groin hernias are rare; most intrasaccular neoplasms are colonic, and the most common reported site is the sigmoid colon, usually in a left inguinal hernia. We report a case of an incarcerated inguinal hernia containing carcinoma of the sigmoid colon.
