Abstract
The content of the sac of a strangulated inguinal hernia may vary and be a surgical challenge to most contemporary surgeons. Usual contents are small intestine and omentum; unusual contents include ovary, appendix and urinary bladder. There is a relative paucity of literature of uterine myoma as a content of a strangulated inguinal hernia sac because of its rarity. A case of uterine myoma as a content of strangulated left inguinal hernia sac in a non-gravid 46 year old woman is presented and discussed.
Keywords : Myoma, Inguinal Hernia, Small Intestine, Appendix, Omentum.
