Background   Morgagni hernias are rare in adults and may be asymptomatic but, nevertheless, require surgical repair, with laparoscopy offering an excellent option. The colon dislodged into the chest through diaphragmatic hernias may be affected by various disorders, including malignancies.  Case Report . A 70-year-old obese male presented with fatigue and shortness of breath. CT scan showed the right colon lodged in the chest through a Morgagni hernia. He was anaemic, and colonoscopy revealed a colon cancer. He underwent combined laparoscopic hernia repair with bioabsorbable mesh and right hemicolectomy. Recovery was uneventful, but the patient died 5 months later from chemotherapy-associated cardiac failure. Literature review revealed eight similar published cases, and including ours, there were seven Morgagni hernias, one traumatic hernia, and one Bochdalek hernia. Median age of the five men and four women was 66 (range 49-85) years. Surgical approach was thoracotomy (2), laparotomy (5), and laparoscopy (2).Conclusion   Outcome of the rare condition is determined by the course of the colon cancer. Hernia repair was successful in ours and all other published cases. A combined laparoscopic approach can be safely done.
