Abstract

The presence of primary or metastatic cancer within a hernia sac is uncommon, which occurs in fewer than 0.5% of all surgically excised sacs (1). This article demonstrates a case of a metastatic pancreatic cancer, one of which presented as an inguinal hernia with fever of unknown origin (FUO). A 44-year-old male presented with a history of FUO and a painful inguinal hernia. Inguinal canal exploration revealed a mass like lesion in the sac without any correlation to abdominopelvic viscera. Postoperative evaluations confirmed moderately differentiated metastatic adenocarcinoma from pancreatic origin. © 2011 Surgical Associates Ltd. Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
