ABSTRACT
Dual pathology having similar symptomatology is uncommon. We present a patient whose symptoms, although not absolutely typical of inguinal hernia, were attributed to bilateral irreducible inguinal hernias and were treated surgically. He remained symptomatic and later, was found to have an intraluminal leiomyoma of the jejunum, which was then removed. We suggest that the presence of any unusual clinical features should prompt further investigation to detect an alternative causative pathology.
