Zusammenfassung
Die De-Garengeot-Hernie stellt einen extrem seltenen pathologischen Befund dar. Wir berichten hier den Fall einer 69-jährigen Patientin mit akuter Appendizitis in einer Femoralhernie. Obwohl außerordentlich selten, muss sich der Kliniker dieser Variation bewusst sein, um den Komplikationen durch Verzögerung in Diagnosestellung und Therapie zu entgehen.

Although exceptionally rare, the clinician needs to be aware of this variation in order to avoid complications arising due to delays in diagnosis and therapy.
