Article Synopsis
- De Garengeot's hernia is a rare type of femoral hernia that includes the appendix, and this report discusses a case involving a 75-year-old male patient with a history of inguinal hernia surgery.
- The patient presented with a groin lump, and after imaging confirmed an incarcerated appendix within the hernia, laparoscopic surgery was performed to release the appendix and repair the hernia using mesh.
- The findings suggest that while laparoscopic surgery is beneficial for diagnosing and treating this condition, the use of mesh in such cases needs to be considered carefully due to the uniqueness of De Garengeot's hernia.

Case Presentation: An 80-year-old Japanese woman was referred to our hospital for further examination of multiple pancreatic cysts.
