English abstract
abstract: Ovarian hernias are extremely rare. The prevalence of ovaries and fallopian tubes in operable inguinal
hernias is only about 2.9%. We report here an unusual case of an ovary in a hernia sac in an adult female. She
presented with symptoms and signs of an incarcerated left inguinal hernia. The left ovary contained a haemorrhagic
cyst and, along with the left fallopian tube and broad ligament, these were found in the sac. She underwent a left
ovarian cystectomy and the inguinal hernia was repaired with mesh.
