Morgagni hernia: Report of a case.

ABSTRACT

A case of Morgagni hernia was encountered in a female patient aged 72 years, who was suffering from abdominal discomfort and shortness of breath. A preliminary diagnosis of mediastinal lipoma was suggested by computed tomography findings. However, during right-sided thoracotomy, a large Moregagni hernia containing a cluster of omentum completely enveloped in a peritoneal sac, was removed.
