[Occult bladder cancer in incarcerated inguinal hernia. Report of a case and review of the literature].
OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of incarcerated inguinal hernia containing bladder carcinoma.


RESULTS
A case of urothelial bladder neoplasm presenting with perforation and scrotal abscess is described. The clinical features, incidence and diagnostic aspects are discussed and the literature briefly reviewed.


CONCLUSIONS
The association of malignant tumor and hernia of the abdominal wall is uncommon, particularly those involving the inguinal zone. To our knowledge, only 8 cases have been reported from 1965 to 1995, accounting for 5.3% of all hernia sac-associated tumors. The location of this type of tumor delays diagnosis and the outcome is generally poor.
