Objectives: Femoral hernias comprise approximately 2-8% of all groin hernias. They are most commonly fat containing but can contain unusual structures such as the vermiform appendix, bladder, ovary, or fallopian tube. These occurrences are rare, with the appendix appearing in 5% of femoral hernias, and the fallopian tube or ovary, appearing in 2.9% of femoral hernias. Femoral hernias containing gynecological structures pose unique management and only anecdotal evidence exists to guide decision making. Here we describe a case of a femoral hernia containing the ovary and fallopian tube with a favorable operative outcome.
