Abstract

A hernia is the protrusion of the small intestines or omentum or other organs through a defect in the abdominal wall. Inguinal hernia
in females is very rare and occurs in <5% of women. Here, we report the case of a 25-year-old female who presented with swelling
in the left groin associated with dragging pain in the left iliac fossa. She was investigated and diagnosed as a left indirect inguinal
hernia. Hernioplasty was planned and intraoperatively ovary along with fimbria was identified as content. An inguinal ovary may
occur if the gubernaculum fails to attach to the uterus in fetal life or if the canal of Nuck remains open after birth.
