Abstract
The complication of protruding preperitoneal fat (PPF) is very rare even though PPF is frequently encountered during hernia surgery. It is called a cord lipoma in the surgical literature. Herein, we report a case of a hemorrhagic complication of PPF causing swelling and discomfort in the groin. By preoperative ultrasonography, this was misidentified as an incarcerated inguinal hernia containing omental fat. CASE REPORT
