Core Tip	Amyand’s hernia is a seldom surgical pathology whereby there is inclusion of the appendix vermiformis within the groin hernia sac. Its incidence among cases of groin hernia is less than 1%. The clinical presentation of incarcerated inguinal hernia generally masks the symptoms and signs of acute appendicitis, which renders preoperative identification difficult. Owing to the rarity of the condition there is yet no general consensus pertaining the diagnosis and management approach. Arguments continue as to whether to do or not appendectomy and where to employ a mesh during operation. In this paper we share our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this rare condition by presenting two cases of Amyand’s hernia one having acute appendicitis and the other gang-raneous appendicitis.
