A diagnosis of Amyand’s hernia was made. She was advised for conservative (non-surgical) treatment as she was asymptomatic for both ovarian mass and Amyand’s hernia. She was then given appointment for ultrasound follow-up. Figure 1 Contrast-enhanced CT abdomen and pelvis in axial sections showing the appendix (arrows) extending into the right inguinal canal. Right ovarian teratoma is also …
