According to Lejar's classification, colon carcinomas within inguinal hernias are categorized as intrasaccular- and saccular-type tumors. In our patient, asymptomatic transverse colon carcinoma was the primary lesion, and to the best of our knowledge, this is only the fourth case of such a saccular-type tumor to be reported in the literature. To date, 21 cases of intrasaccular tumors have been reported, and saccular-type tumors are considered to be an even rarer entity, unless the patients have obvious ascites, indicating peritonitis carcinomatosa. Histologic examination of the hernia sac is recommended for male patients of advanced age with an inguinal hernia, especially those who have previously undergone surgery for colorectal carcinoma.: Springer-Verlag Tokyo, 2000 Kew Words: inguinal hernia, colon carcinoma, metastatic saccular tumor nationallicence Matsumoto Gaku Department of Surgery, Ishinomaki Municipal Hospital, 1-7-20 Minamihama-cho, Ishinomaki 986-0835, Japan, JP aut Ise Hideo Department of Surgery, Ishinomaki Municipal Hospital, 1-7-20 Minamihama-cho, Ishinomaki 986-0835, Japan, JP aut Inoue Haruyuki Department of Surgery, Ishinomaki Municipal Hospital, 1-7-20 Minamihama-cho, Ishinomaki 986-0835, Japan, JP aut Ogawa Hitoshi Department of Surgery, Ishinomaki Municipal Hospital, 1-7-20 Minamihama-cho, Ishinomaki 986-0835, Japan, JP aut Suzuki Noriyoshi Department of Surgery, Ishinomaki Municipal Hospital, 1-7-20 Minamihama-cho, Ishinomaki 986-0835, Japan, JP aut Matsuno Seiki First Department of Surgery, Tohoku University School of Medicine, 1-1 Seiryocho, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8574, Japan, JP aut https://doi.org/10.1007/PL00010052 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/PL00010052 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Matsumoto Gaku Department of Surgery, Ishinomaki Municipal Hospital, 1-7-20 Minamihama-cho, Ishinomaki 986-0835, Japan, JP aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Ise Hideo Department of Surgery, Ishinomaki Municipal Hospital, 1-7-20 Minamihama-cho, Ishinomaki 986-0835, Japan, JP aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Inoue Haruyuki Department of Surgery, Ishinomaki Municipal Hospital, 1-7-20 Minamihama-cho, Ishinomaki 986-0835, Japan, JP aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Ogawa Hitoshi Department of Surgery, Ishinomaki Municipal Hospital, 1-7-20 Minamihama-cho, Ishinomaki 986-0835, Japan, JP aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Suzuki Noriyoshi Department of Surgery, Ishinomaki Municipal Hospital, 1-7-20 Minamihama-cho, Ishinomaki 986-0835, Japan, JP aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Matsuno Seiki First Department of Surgery, Tohoku University School of Medicine, 1-1 Seiryocho, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8574, Japan, JP aut Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
