Amyand's hernia repair in an asymptomatic patient-a case report and a review of the literature.

Amyand's hernia is a rare condition, in which the appendix is found in the inguinal hernia sac. Many patients remain asymptomatic and this pathological condition is most commonly diagnosed intraoperatively. We report a case of a 66-year-old male who was admitted to the hospital for an inguinal hernia repair and the presence of the appendix in the inguinal hernia sac was discovered intraoperatively.
