De Garengeot hernia is a rare occurrence characterised by the presence of the appendix within a femoral hernia. This type of hernia is notable for its rare anatomical presentation. In rare instances, the appendix can present as inflamed or necrotic in which case it may present as an emergency. In many instances, De Garengeot hernia is discovered incidentally during surgical repair of a hernia. This incidental finding raises an important consideration for surgeons. This study reports a case of De Garengeot hernia identified as an incidental intraoperative finding. It aims to enhance awareness of the condition, ultimately improving patient outcomes and management.
