title: Abscess and cecum carcinoma in inguinal hernia: case report.
abstract: Cecal adenocarcinoma within an inguinal hernial sac is an uncommon clinical condition. A primary adenocarcinoma of the cecum in a right sided inguinal hernia is presented and discussed. This case represents one of the unexpected findings in a hernia sac and also very rare septic evolution. This particular condition is a main dignostic and therapeutic challenge.
