Amyand's hernia containing an appendiceal goblet cell carcinoid tumour.

Amyand's hernia is a rare occurrence where the appendix is trapped within an inguinal hernia. Appendicitis within the hernia is even rarer. However, the presence of an appendiceal neoplasm in an inguinal hernia is almost unheard of with only two cases reported in the literature. We present an extremely rare case of an inflamed appendix within an Amyand's hernia, which was found to be a goblet cell type carcinoid tumour requiring further oncological resection and treatment.
