FERREIRA MORENO, Víctor G et al. Spigelian hernia vs. colonic neoplasias. Apropos of a case. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2011, vol.33, n.2, pp.235-238. ISSN 1684-1824.

Spigelian hernias are a rare entity and occur through defects in the homonym fascia. The diagnosis is difficult; it may be helped by on-line axial tomography and ultrasound. We report the case of a 46- years-old patient remitted to the Imaging Service of the Clinical-Surgical University Hospital Comandante Faustino Pérez, of Matanzas, with a history of unspecific abdominal pain for four years, now with a palpable abdominal mass in the right lower quadrant and image suggesting cecum neoplasias in colon examination by enema made in the before mentioned hospital; their diagnosis may be virtually impossible unless the entity is previously considered; that is where the importance of the report resides.

Palabras clave : Spigelian; hernia abdominal; radiology; surgery; colonic neoplasms; case reports; humans; female; adult.
