  La hernia de Amyand es una enfermedad rara que se observa en aproximadamente el 1 % de todas las hernias, y sus complicaciones como la apendicitis aguda o perforada, son aún más raras, aproximadamente el 0,1 %.

Se recibió un paciente masculino de setenta y tres años de edad que acudió al servicio de emergencias debido a dolor abdominal tipo punzante de moderada intensidad localizado en región inguinal derecha de 4 días de evolución, no refirió otros síntomas acompañantes. Se diagnosticó una hernia inguinal Nyhus III, Amyand tipo 2 y se le realizó apendicectomía incidental y reducción del saco herniario. Durante el postoperatorio no se observaron complicaciones.   Palabras clave: Hernia de Amyand, hernia de Garengeot, hernia inguinal, apendicitis aguda, apéndice cecal.   Abstract Amyand's hernia is a rare disease seen in approximately 1% of all hernias, and its complications such as acute or perforated appendicitis are even rarer, approximately 0.1%.

A Nyhus III, Amyand type 2 inguinal hernia was diagnosed and incidental appendectomy and reduction of the hernial sac were performed.
