title: [Inguino-crural hernia with neoplastic content].
abstract: We report a case of incarcerated crural hernia including omentum with metastases of pancreatic carcinoma. The scarce literature is reviewed. The possibility of mistaking an incarcerated crural hernia for an inguinal lymph node may result in a ganglionar biopsy ending up in a crural herniography under local anaesthesia. We recommend that all hernial sacs be examined, especially those of adult patients and, in such cases, a crural herniography with prolene should be made in view of its remarkably technical simplicity.
