[Morgagni's hernia erroneously interpreted as a lipoma].
The author describes the problems of properly diagnosing Morgagni's hernia via non-invasive x-ray examination. A case history is reported as an example. Diagnosis can be confirmed, especially with small hernias which do not contain parts of intestine or liver, by additional subtle sonography and high-resolutien computed tomography.
