Abstract

We report a case of a stone in inguinal hernia sac. A 41-year-old male patient presented to Hakim Hospital in Neyshabur city, Iran, with complaints of pain and swelling in the right abdominal region. After initial evaluations, a diagnosis of right inguinal hernia was made, and the patient was scheduled for hernioplasty. He had no history of previous surgeries, hospital admissions, underlying diseases, or kidney and gallbladder stones. The surgery was performed. The hernia sac was exposed. Inside the hernia sac, a stone measuring approximately 2 cm in diameter, with a hard consistency and yellow color, was found. The stone was not adherent to the sac and was mobile. The hernia sac was opened, the stone was removed, and sent to the pathology lab. The patient was discharged 24 h later in good general condition. According to the pathology report, the components of the stone were identified as calcium oxalate.
