Bilateral indirect inguinal hernias. Appendix enters right inguinal hernia (Amyand hernia). [Abdominal] [CT]

A companion case to this one. Bilateral groins with fat-containing hernias. The right-sided hernia also has a small air-filled tubular structure consistent with an appendix. There are no inflammatory changes to suggest acute appendicitis, so this is an incidental finding.

A right inguinal hernia containing an appendix is called an Amyand hernia and apparently pretty rare at <1% of inguinal hernias.
