Abstract

Inguinal herniae are a common pathology found in both paediatric and adult populations. The presence of bowel in the hernia sac is anticipated; however, occasionally other structures may be found within the sac. We describe a case of a leiomyoma that had undergone red degeneration in the inguinal canal of a 26-week pregnant female. With this case report, we hope to expand the diagnostic paradigm in the setting of a painful swelling in the inguinal canal of a pregnant female.
