Incidental finding of leiomyoma is rare finding and can mimic an inguinal hernia or both can occur at a time. Very small mass beside hernia sac identified during exploration of the inguinal canal. Inguinal hernia in females is less common compared to males, but more common than the femoral hernia. Beside the sac there may be other structures, which have been reported like lipoma of cord, lymph node. In our hospital we have come across this case, and would like to report. Confirmatory diagnosis is established by histopathology. Surgical excision is the curative treatment.
