title: Richter's type strangulated femoral hernia containing caecum and appendix masquerading as a groin abscess.
abstract: Femoral hernias are challenging conditions, not only because their diagnosis is often missed, but also because if left undiagnosed and untreated, their complications are severe and often life-threatening. The authors present the second reported case of a femoral hernia of the Richter's variety containing caecum and appendix that, following strangulation and perforation, manifested as a groin abscess.
