Indirect hernial sac containing the uterus, ovary, and fallopian tube in association with a giant intraabdominal lipoma: report of a case.
Presence of the ovary, fallopian tube, and uterus within an inguinal hernia is a rare condition. In this report, we describe the case of a 47-year-old female, multiparous patient with a giant omental lipoma (18 × 8 × 7 cm, 422 g) and left inguinal hernia. The uterus, left ovary, and fallopian tube were in the hernial sac. The presence of the uterus within the hernial sac accompanies mullerian anomalies, although, in this case, there was no such anomaly. To our knowledge, there have been no cases in the literature of a giant intraabdominal lipoma and a hernial sac containing the uterus, ovary, and fallopian tube, but a few cases of inguinal hernia involving the ovary, fallopian tube, and uterus have been reported. The aim of this case report was to call attention to the observation that the inguinal hernia seen in female patients may involve the ovary, fallopian tube, and uterus.
