Abstract

Femoral hernias are the second most common type of hernias. Femoral hernia presenting as enterocutaneous fistula is a rare entity. A 51 year old female came with complaints of fecal discharge from the wound over groin. On exploration, it was found out to be a femoral hernia which had led to enterocutaneous fistula. Because of its rare presentation, we hereby sensitise the medical fraternity to it.
