Article Abstract
Background: Amyand's hernia is a rare condition approximately 0.4-0.6% of all inguinal hernias. Although rare, the Amyand's hernia is worthy of discussion since the variable presentation that make clinical challenge to diagnose especially in infant. A mesenteric chylous cyst is rare disease and has not been reported in Amyand's hernia.
Case Presentation: We report an unusual case of Type II Amyand's hernia with an enlarging chylous mesenteric cyst on the retrocaecal in the anulus into canalis inguinalis. A-2-months old infant presented with enlarging mass in the right scrotal. During laparotomy exploration, we found inguinal sac with intestinal and appendix content in the sac. In the edge site of the sac we found enlarging of mesenteric cyst on the retrocaecal in the anulus into canalis inguinalis. Based on the histopathology examination, the morphological feature is suitable for mesenteric chylous cyst appearance.
Conclusion: Presentation of mesenteric chylous cyst is rare, and there was no report about it in Amyand's hernia. This unusual presentation should be considered by the surgeon, especially pediatric surgeon, in Amyand's hernia cases.
