Abstract
This case report details a clinically rare presentation in which a middle-aged man was diagnosed clinically with a large irreducible inguinoscrotal hernia. However, intraoperatively, a large volume of old blood/clots was seen and aspirated, without a definite hernia being identified. Inguinal hernias remain a clinical diagnosis, and imaging is used only in equivocal cases. Owing to the number of differential diagnoses associated with groin swelling, careful clinical assessment is critical in differentiating between the various causes. Rupture of the inferior epigastric vessels was suspected, and although rare, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis as this may alter ongoing management.
