Parmar, G. Vaghasiya, J. Dave] Femoral hernias are elusive conditions that, despite having life-threatening complications, are often undiagnosed in asymptomatic patients. They are less common than inguinal hernias and occur more frequently in females [Purushotham et al. (2014) J Evol Med Dent Sci 3(05):1160-1163]. In the first place, femoral hernia in a male patient is itself, a very rare clinical presentation, let alone complications like obstruction or strangulation in the second place. Thus, despite the fact that femoral hernias account for only 2-4% of all groin hernias, their timely and correct diagnosis is vital due to the increased mortality associated with emergency surgery for their complications [Arkoulis et al. (2012) Ox J Med, J Surg Case Rep 2012(6):6]. This, however, is not always easy, where mortality has been found to be tenfold. Here, we present a case of right-sided obstructed femoral hernia of Richter's variety in a male of 52years of age.
