Abstract :

<p>A femoral hernia is a rare, which has been reported in less than 5% of all abdominal wall hernias, acquired condition with a female to male ratio of 4:1 and incidence increases with age. Diagnosing the nature of a lump in the groin is often difficult, especially in obese patients. Rarely, a strangulated femoral hernia can present atypically without abdominal or inguinal pain which can lead to delay in diagnosis of this dangerous condition. There are only few cases reported in the literature in which diagnosis femoral hernia in males were made clinically. We are reporting a rare case of femoral hernia in a male who has been operated with relevant review of literature</p>
