AbstractHerein, we present a case of primary liposarcoma of the omentum found in an incarcerated inguinal hernia in a 52-year-old male patient. The patient was admitted to our hospital in June 2000 with sudden onset of left-sided abdominal and groin pain of 12 hours' duration with a large, irreducible inguinal hernia. This was not associated with nausea or vomiting. An emergency operation was performed, and in the hernia sac the tumor, arising from the greater omentum, was found. After we opened the transversal fascia and peritoneum, the tumor was resected with a block of the greater omentum, and hernioplasty was performed using Shouldice's method. The histopathological diagnosis of resected tumor showed myxoid type liposarcoma. In the English medical literature, omental liposarcoma has never before been reported as the content of a hernia sac.
