Ovarian and Tubal Inguinal Hernia

KAREN D. BRADSHAW, MD and BRUCE R. CARR, MD

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the Cecil H. and Ida Green Center for Reproductive Biology Sciences, University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, Dallas, Texas.

Abstract

An inguinal hernia containing an ovary and fallopian tube is an extremely rare occurrence in a woman of reproductive age. When ovarian and fallopian tube inguinal hernias are found, they are commonly associated with defects in genital tract development. In this report a woman with primary amenorrhea, 46XX karyotype, mullerian agenesis, and an inguinal hernia consisting of an ovary and a fallopian tube is presented. The defect in embryologic development that leads to this disorder and a review of previous reports of ovarian and tubal inguinal hernias are discussed.
