Intrahernial tumour--a case report.
Intrahernial tumour is an uncommon entity. Up to 1980, there are 23 reported cases of primary intrahernial tumours. Suspicion should arise when a longstanding hernia has recently become incarcerated. This is the first reported case of primary tumour of the transverse colon found within a paraumbilical hernia presenting with obstruction.
