BACKGROUND
First described in 1764, Spigelian hernias are rare. The patient profile is of an overweight, 50-year-old with associated respiratory disease. However we report the case of a four-month-old, with an associated hypospadias and cryptorchidism, where the testis was lying in a spigelian hernia.
OBJECTIVE
To highlight this unusual presentation of cryptorchidism.
CONCLUSIONS
Embryological development is a complex event that relies on the sequencing of hormonal surges for anatomical development. In this case report we postulate that the findings are secondary to hormonal disruption.
