Letter to the Editor: Case of Appendix Incarcerated in an Umbilical Hernia.

Umbilical hernias and acute appendicitis are common general surgical problems, but an appendix incarcerated in an umbilical hernia is quite rare. We present a case of such and briefly review the available literature on the topic. We conclude that future authors should include a minimum set of information in such case reports or case series so that readers can gain as much as possible from our collective experience with this uncommon problem.
