Amyand's hernia is an uncommon kind of inguinal hernia in which the appendix becomes entrapped within the hernia sac. We report a 48-year-old man with a right groin protrusion and abdominal pain. In the abdominopelvic ultrasound, an appendix with a diameter of 9 mm was reported in the right inguinal canal. The patient was diagnosed with Amyand hernia.
