ABSTRACT Hernias are frequent consultation reasons in surgery. The presence of the vermiform appendix into the inguinal hernia sac is called De Garengeot’s Hernia. On the other hand, Amyand’s hernia contains the inflamed vermiform appendix simulating a strangulated hernia. We present two cases of inguinal hernia which had the vermiform appendix into the hernia sac, making a bibliographic review and suggesting treatment guidelines
