Accounting for approximately 0.4-0.6% of all inguinal hernias, Amyand's hernia is a rare condition in which a vermiform appendix is found in an inguinal hernia sac. It is most commonly found in males and in the pediatric population. Since Claudius Amyand's first reported case in 1736, there have only been a total of 228 documented cases of the Amyand's hernia. Due to its rarity, the pathophysiology and risk factors of the condition are still unclear. Some theorize that it is secondary to a patent processus vaginalis or perhaps the presence of a fibrous band between the hernia sac and testes. Amyand's hernia usually presents as an incarcerated or strangulated hernia, but its presentation can be quite variable. We report an unusual case of an Amyand's hernia presenting as an enlarging painful mass on the right lateral edge of the mons pubis, resembling an abscess.
艾米安德疝约占所有腹股沟疝的0.4 - 0.6%，是一种罕见病症，即在腹股沟疝囊中发现阑尾。它最常见于男性和儿童群体。自1736年克劳迪乌斯·艾米安德首次报告该病例以来，记录在案的艾米安德疝病例总共只有228例。由于其罕见性，该病症的病理生理学和危险因素仍不清楚。一些人推测，它继发于鞘突未闭，或者可能是疝囊与睾丸之间存在纤维带。艾米安德疝通常表现为嵌顿性或绞窄性疝，但其表现可能差异很大。我们报告一例不寻常的艾米安德疝病例，表现为耻骨联合右侧边缘处逐渐增大的疼痛性肿块，类似脓肿。
