Umbilical hernia is common and can lead to life-threatening complications such as incarceration or strangulation. The presence of malignant tumours in hernial sacs remains very rare. We report here a case of epiploic carcinosis discovered during cure of an incarcerated umbilical hernia in a 75-year-old woman. She had macroscopic signs of malignancy during the operation.
