“…19 Consequently, 15 papers (13 case reports, 2 case series), comprising 17 patients with ovarian inguinal hernias, were included in our review. 5,6,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] summarised in Tables 1-3. The mean patient age was 47.9 years (standard deviation: 23.7 years) and over half of the patients (n=9, 56%) were women of reproductive age (18-45 years).…”

Introduction Gynaecological structures such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, ligaments and uterus are rarely encountered inside a hernial sac. The prevalence of groin hernias containing parts of female genitalia remains unknown. The aim of this review was to summarise the existing evidence on inguinal hernias containing ovaries with or without the other female adnexa. Methods A systematic search was conducted for literature published up to February 2018 using the MEDLINE®, Scopus® and Google Scholar™ databases along with the references of the full-text articles retrieved. Papers on observational studies and case reports concerning women who were diagnosed with an ovarian inguinal hernia (pre or intraoperatively) were considered eligible for inclusion in the review. Results Fifteen papers (13 case reports, 2 case series) comprising seventeen patients (mean age 47.9 years) were evaluated. A left-sided hernia was noted in 13 cases (77%) whereas 4 patients had a right-sided hernia. Eight patients underwent preoperative imaging with computed tomography, ultrasonography or both. This was diagnostic in five cases. In 11 patients, hernia contents were repositioned, 2 had a salpingo-oophorectomy and 2 an oophorectomy. Eight patients underwent hernia repair with mesh placement while three had a herniorrhaphy. Conclusions Ovarian inguinal hernias should be considered among the differential diagnoses of a groin mass or swelling. In women of reproductive age, repair of the hernia with the intent to preserve fertility is of critical importance.

“…There are a limited number of case reports in the literature relating to hernias caused by intra-abdominal lipomatosis. Three of those described include a case of a hernia sac containing the uterus associated with a large intra-abdominal lipoma, a sliding indirect lipomatous hernia without a hernial sac, and a sciatic hernia composed of a lipomatous mass transversing the greater sciatic foramen [9][10][11].…”

Mass Effect of Large Pelvic Lipoma Resulting in Femoral Hernia

A 73-year-old lady presented with a three-day history of constipation, vomiting, and abdominal pain. On examination, a right femoral hernia was identified, and this was confirmed on computed tomography imaging with evidence of mechanical small bowel obstruction. There was an incidental finding of a large pelvic lipoma causing a mass effect. This lady underwent open repair of the femoral hernia. Intra-abdominal lipomatosis is a rare finding and can present itself in a variety of manifestations, or it can be identified as an incidental finding on cross-sectional imaging. Bowel obstructions, abdominal pain, lipoma, and abdominopelvic hernias are some examples of symptomatic presentations of intra-abdominal lipomas.

“…A protracted course of progressive symptoms is often due to the intra-abdominal mass effect and include abdominal pain, distention, early satiety, anorexia, vomiting and constipation [ 5 ]. Acute presentations typically reflect complications, with reports in the literature of torsion and infarction of the lipoma, exacerbation of hernias and intra-abdominal hemorrhage from aberrant vessels [ 2 , 3 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Primary tumors of the omentum, let alone omental lipomas, are rare causes of a large intra-abdominal mass. We report a case of an adult male presenting with an intra-abdominal mass, representative of a giant omental lipoma radiologically, confirmed on histopathology after complete resection at laparotomy. The case highlights the preoperative workup of a suspected omental lipoma, including the utility of various radiological modalities in differentiating from malignant pathologies, and anatomical characterization of the lesion for surgical planning.
