title: [Neoplasms of the sigmoid incarcerated in inguinal hernia (case report and review of the literature)].
abstract: The authors consider the association of colonic neoplasia and hernia of abdominal wall. Such association, although not so frequent, was formerly remarked in literature 23 times; with the personal casuistic contribution of the authors, who recently observed a case thereof in an old patient woman, such remarks amount to 24. The authors describe the case they have the opportunity to observe, and report the experience of the other authors thereabout, through a careful reviewing of the literature starting from 1930 up to our time.
