An incarcerated epigastric hernia containing stomach.

Most epigastric hernia contains preperitoneal fat or the omentum. Intraabdominal organ herniation is rare and, if present, contains mostly small bowel. Incarcerated epigastric hernia having the stomach as content is infrequent, and only one case has been reported in the literature so far. Herein, we report a rare case of incarcerated epigastric hernia that contains the stomach and was managed with emergency hernioplasty.
