Abstract
In men, the femoral hernia may clinically resemble an inguinal hernia. Especially when the hernia is turned upwards and covers the medial end of the inguinal canal. The confusion is then more pronounced. It is rare in men. The diagnosis is clinical and should be treated urgently when it is a strangulation. This is a 50-year-old patient who is admitted with a strangulated femoral hernia. On clinical examination, there was an irreducible, painful, non-impulsive left inguinal swelling. The patient underwent a segmental bowel resection with terminal bowel anastomosis and a Mac Vay left femoral hernia repair. The postoperative follow-up was favourable with a 1-year follow-up. we would like to share a very difficult clinical case and our experience with the support of the literature. This is a challenge to clinicians and surgeons above all.
