AbstractHernias occurring in the lumbar area are rare. The lumbar area is a broad anatomic area bordered superiorly by the 12th rib, interiorly by iliac crest, medially by the erector spinae muscle and laterally by the external oblique muscle. Acquired hernias occurring in the lumbar area are often diffuse and grotesque appearing and most of them are post operative incisional hernias occurring in nephrectomy incisions. Rarely hernias occur through bicortical surgical defect of iliac crest. We would like to present such a case and review the literature briefly.
