Abstract
Although inguinal hernias containing the ipsilateral ovary and tube are common in young girls, those containing the uterus, ovary, and tube are rare. We report a case in a newborn girl presenting an inguinal swelling. An ultrasound performed revealed a hernial sac containing the uterus, an ovary and probably the ipsilateral tube, which is a rare condition. We suggest that ultrasound should be used in the diagnosis of every inguinal formation especially in young girls.
