However, the presence of appendicitis within an inguinal hernial sac is found only in 0.08% of the general population.Case report: We present the case of a 58-year-old male patient that was admitted with abdominal pain associated with a small non-reducible right groin mass.Discussion: To establish the correct diagnosis preoperatively, an abdominal and pelvic CT scan is mandatory.Conclusion: Acute appendicitis in an Amyand's hernia is a very rare entity that can be easily misdiagnosed preoperatively. CT is extremely useful in reaching the correct preoperative diagnosis. Introducción: El hallazgo de un apéndice vermiforme dentro del saco peritoneal de una hernia inguinal indirecta ocurre en aproximadamente el 1% de los casos. Sin embargo, la presencia de apendicitis dentro de un saco herniario inguinal se encuentra sólo en el 0.08% de la población general.Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 58 años que ingresa por dolor abdominal asociado a una pequeña masa inguinal derecha no reducible.Discusión: Para establecer el diagnóstico correcto preoperatorio, es obligatoria una tomografía computarizada de abdomen y pelvis.Conclusión: La apendicitis aguda en la hernia de Amyand es una entidad muy rara que puede diagnosticarse erróneamente fácilmente en el preoperatorio. La TC es de gran utilidad para llegar al correcto diagnóstico preoperatorio. Introdução: O achado de apêndice vermiforme dentro do saco peritoneal de hérnia inguinal indireta ocorre em aproximadamente 1% dos casos. No entanto, a presença de apendicite dentro de um saco herniário inguinal é encontrada apenas em 0,08% da população geral.Caso clínico: Apresentamos o caso de um paciente do sexo masculino, 58 anos, que deu entrada por dor abdominal associada a pequena massa inguinal à direita, não redutível.Discussão: Para estabelecer o diagnóstico pré-operatório, a tomografia computadorizada de abdome e pelve é obrigatória.Conclusão: A apendicite aguda na hérnia de Amyand é uma entidade muito rara que pode ser facilmente diagnosticada no pré-operatório. A TC é muito útil para se chegar ao diagnóstico pré-operatório correto. Universidad Nacional Cba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.
