ABSTRACT
De Garengeot's hernia is a rare surgical phenomenon and describes the presence of the vermiform appendix within a femoral hernia. We describe a case of acute appendicitis mimicking an irreducible femoral hernia and reiterate key operative techniques necessary to prevent post-operative morbidity associated with this pathology.
