RESUMEN
The finding of the appendix inside an hernial sac is called "Amyand hernia": The global incidence is 0.28 to 1
. Clinical manifestations are the presence of an inflamed inguinal mass, tense, hypersensitivensible, with variable size, non-reducible, and associated to abdominal pain, vomit and very rarely true appendicitis manifestations. Surgical treatment depends on the case presentation and the intraoperative findings. We present a case of a giant Amyands hernia successfully treated with surgery by performing the hernia repair with Bassini technique and transherniotomy appendectomy.
