Abstract

SUMMARY This is a report of one of the many imposters of an irreducible inguinal hernia, a dermoid cyst. It is a rare entity that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a groin lump when an atypical clinical presentation or groin examination occurs. Complete excision with histological evaluation remains the mainstay of surgical treatment. Keywords: dermoid cyst, inguinal hernia, inguinal canal, incarcerated, hernia surgery
