Abstract

Inguinal hernia is the most common type of hernia experienced in the surgical OPD due to the muscular anatomy of the region being weak along with the natural weaknesses like deep ring with indirect hernia being more common than direct. Inguinal hernias may have varying unusual sac contents, a case presentation of rudimentary uterus and ovaries as contents of inguinal hernia in an adult female with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) type II syndrome. This syndrome may be attributed to abnormal development of blastema of cervicothoracic somites and pronephriducts.
