Inguinal hernia is a condition where a bulge occurs in the groin area and is the most common type of hernia with 75% of all abdominal wall hernias. The diagnosis of inguinal hernia can be made easily through physical examination, where the lump can be seen or felt when pressed on the external inguinal ring. In this case study, a 51-year-old man complained of a lump on the right underarm to the scrotum area that had been painful since 1 day before admission to the hospital. The lump had been felt since 2 years ago, but the lump seemed to disappear. The patient was diagnosed with incarcerated lateral inguinal hernia from the results of anamnesis, physical examination, supporting examination, and performed hernioraphy with mash graft.
