De Garengeot hernia masquerading as a painless groin lump: a case report.

De Garengeot's hernia is a rare subtype of femoral hernia in which the appendix is located within the herniated sac. These cases are important to report as both the diagnosis and treatment are quite challenging. We present a case of a 68-year-old gentleman with few months history of a lump in the right groin that gave him mild discomfort but no other symptoms.

Obturator hernia of Richter type: a diagnostic dilemma.

An 85-year-old malnourished woman presented with symptoms of small bowel obstruction of uncertain aetiology. She had presented numerous times over the previous 2 years with symptoms of left groin and thigh pain, vomiting and abdominal distension. A CT of her abdomen and pelvis ultimately revealed a left-sided pelvic hernia, between the obturator internus and pectineal muscles.
