Inguinoscrotal hernia of the bladder is a rare clinical entity. Bladder herniation is commonly small, clinically silent, and incidentally detected during elective hernioplasty. Bladder resection is indicated if tumor or necrosis is detected. Few cases of bladder herniation containing neoplasia have been reported and usually discovered intraoperatively. Case Report: We herein reported our experience with 3 inguinoscrotal bladder hernias treated with partial cystectomy and routine herniorrhaphy. One patient had high grade superficial transitional cell carcinoma and one had bladder stone. Despite the 3 layers of the bladder being normal, it seems reasonable to manage cases of massive inguinoscrotal bladder hernia accompanied by stone or tumor like acquired diverticular disease by diverticular excision (partial cystectomy).
