Abstract
Amyand`s hernia is defined as appendix inside the inguinal hernia sac. It is a rare pathology and literature present over it comprises of case reports or small case series. Diagnosis is difficult and mostly made intraoperatively after opening of the hernial sac, and treatment relies upon the condition of appendix. In this report we share our experience of a case where the caecum and inflamed vermiform appendix were part of boundary of the sac, thus leading us to name it a sliding amyand`s hernia.
