Abstract

We present a case of Amyand's hernia with perforated appendicitis in a premature infant. The favorable outcome compared to perforated abdominal appendicitis is discussed. Despite its rarity, this diagnosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a scrotal mass in premature infants.
