“…18 The most common type of appendiceal neoplasms is the carcinoid, making up 85% of appendiceal tumours. 17 Appendiceal adenocarcinomas are an even rarer entity with an unclear incidence. The few existing studies in the field, report appendiceal neoplasms to occur in 1.4% of all post-appendicitis resected appendices, with 0.3% representing adenocarcinomas.…”

An Amyand’s hernia is an incarcerated inguinal hernia containing the appendix with or without appendicitis. This is a rare form of inguinal hernia, making up approximately 0.4—1% of all cases 1. As with any hernia, this may become strangulated at any time, leading to the loss of blood supply and further development of gangrene and complications. Clinically, this can present in a manner indistinguishable from other types of inguinal hernias. In addition, the appendix can be affected by its own set of pathological processes, such as infection, inflammation and malignancy. Not uncommonly both hernial and appendiceal complications coexist. The clinical diagnosis of an Amyand’s hernia remains challenging due to its low incidence and indistinct clinical presentation. At present, surgery is usually diagnostic and therapeutic. However, there is a growing number of recent reports showing the invaluable role of imaging on the diagnosis of Amyand’s hernias and associated complications 2 3. The correct and timely recognition of their imaging features including complications can optimise and expedite patient care by guiding diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Here, we report for the first time the radiological and pathological findings of a patient with a unique complicated Amyand’s hernia, which posed a diagnostic challenge for the clinical and radiological teams.

“…2,3 The Amyand hernia is three times more common in childhood, due to affiliation with persistent processus vaginalis. 3,4 It is also more common in males, and usually occurs on right side, with mean age of 34 years.

The Amyand hernia is a rare type of inguinal hernia where the appendix is located within the hernial sac. It is present in less than 1% of inguinal hernias and in 0.13% of cases, it is associated with complications including acute appendicitis and perforation. This case details an 81-year-old female with recurrent Amyand hernia with perforated appendicitis and a sessile serrated lesion. A literature review was conducted to identify existing cases of the Amyand hernia and neoplasm or recurrent inguinal hernia. Fifteen cases of neoplastic appendix within an Amyand hernia were identified in the literature. All cases found acute appendicitis, three of which were perforated. Histology varied from adenocarcinoma, goblet cell, carcinoid, fibroma, and mucinous cystadenoma. There were nine identified cases of Amyand hernia within a recurrent inguinal hernia. Seven of these cases had acute appendicitis, three of which were perforated, whilst one was gangrenous. All cases performed an appendicectomy, and various open techniques were used for hernia repair with or without mesh. The most interesting finding of the literature review was that Amyand hernia is rarely diagnosed pre-operatively, and that there was a high incidence of appendicitis when in the presence of a neoplastic appendix or a recurrent inguinal hernia. This paper highlights the first reported case of an Amyand hernia with a simultaneous neoplasm and recurrent inguinal hernia, which was managed using a laparoscopic approach without hernia repair.
