“…The common locations of a hernia sac are the omentum and small intestine, while others include the cecum, appendix, sigmoid colon, bladder, uterine appendages, abdominal tumors, and so on[ 16 ]. If the hernia content cannot be returned to the abdominal cavity, the possibility of incarceration, adhesion, and tumor invasion should be considered[ 17 ]. However, it should be noted that the appendix, fecal mass, incarceration, edematous intestinal canal, and even extraperitoneal fat are easily misdiagnosed as tumors[ 18 ].…”

BACKGROUND The most common causes of scrotal enlargement in patients include primary tumor of the scrotum, inflammation, hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis, and indirect inguinal hernia; scrotal enlargement caused by external tumors of the scrotum is rare. The patient had both a greater omentum tumor and an inguinal hernia, and the tumor protruded into the scrotum through the hernia sac, which is even rarer. Moreover, omental tumors are mostly metastatic, and primary omental fibroma is rare. CASE SUMMARY Here, we report a rare case of a 25-year-old young man with scrotal enlargement and pain for 3 months. Preoperative examination and multidisciplinary discussions considered intra-abdominal tumor displacement and inguinal hernia, and intraoperative exploration confirmed that the greater omentum tumor protruded into the scrotum. Therefore, tumor resection and tension-free inguinal hernia repair were performed. The final diagnosis was benign fibroma of the greater omentum accompanied by an indirect inguinal hernia. CONCLUSION This unusual presentation of a common inguinal hernia disease illustrates the necessity of performing detailed history taking, physical examination, and imaging before surgery.

“…The cases that the sigmoid colon is included in the inguinal hernia are rare in the Literature [3,4]. Interestingly, cases with sigmoid carcinoma in the hernial sac were reported more frequently [5,6]. Incarcerated tumor containing segments may present with the perforation from tumoral region [7].…”

A 83 years old man was operated due to the acute abdominal findings and left strangulated inguinal hernia. On the exploration, trapping of sigmoid colon in the left inguinal canal observed and colonic wall was partly necrotic. After reduction, when the peritoneum covering the mesentery of the colon was opened, posterior wall defect and colonic content was seen in the mesentery. This view explained the CT that shows free air without free fluid in the abdomen. End Colostomy with Hartmann's Pouch was the choice of the operation.

Introduction: Inguinal hernias are common and typically include a portion of abdominal organs. However, there have been reports of additional peculiar content. Case presentation: The authors present the case of a 68-year-old man with sigmoid colon cancer presenting as a left inguinal hernia. Discussion: Colorectal cancer is a unique component that can be identified within inguinal hernias and is a prevalent problem among affected individuals because such a presentation is unusual. Conclusion: Surgeons should be aware of this risk when operating on inguinal hernias in order to prevent ineffective care. The best course of action may be appropriate exploration and oncological excision when underlying colon cancer is suspected after a hernial procedure.
