“…When cancer is found in a hernia sac it is usually an intrasaccular type [5]; ours was a saccular tumor. Carcinoma of the colon is the most common tumor associated with hernia sacs, but cancer of the prostate, pancreas, ovary, bile duct, tonsils, stomach, pericardium, skin, appendix, bladder, and thymus has been reported [2,4,6]. To our knowledge, there has been no report of carcinoma found on an enterocele sac.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] These tumors have presented in inguinal and umbilical hernias in the past and the first case of a malignancy to be ever reported in a hernia sac was in 1749 by a French physician Arnaud in Paris. 5 Since, then there has been only one case of a 62-year-old male reported to have a tubular adenocarcinoma from the colon to a ventral abdominal hernia.…”

“…1 Most reports document inguinal or umbilical hernia sac with metastatic adenocarcinoma from multiple organs. [1][2][3][4] To the best of our knowledge, no cases of ventral hernia sac with metastatic urothelial carcinoma have been previously reported. We herein, report a case of metastatic urothelial carcinoma in an incarcerated ventral hernia.…”

“…Nearly all reported cases have occurred in elderly males whose long-standing inguinal hernias had recently become painful or incarcerated [5,14,16]. A patient with a history of intra-abdominal malignancy who presents with a new hernia should be investigated for recurrence, as the hernia may contain metastatic tumour [7,12]. Metastatic tumour developing within a hernia sac does not result in strangulation or incarceration; however, primary intrasaccular malignancies may strangulate, as seen in both of our cases [1].…”

“…Tumours have also been described in umbilical, para-umbilical, femoral, and incisional herniae, and also in enterocoeles [3][4][5][6][7]. Colonic cancer, usually arising in the sigmoid, is the most common cancer found in any hernia [8][9][10][11], but prostate, pancreas, ovary, bile duct, tonsil, stomach, pericardium, skin, appendix, bladder and thymus malignancies have also been reported [3,[12][13][14][15]. We present two patients in whom a sigmoid carcinoma presented in a strangulated left inguinal hernia.…”
