Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Adenomatoid tumors are non-cancerous growths that arise from mesothelial cells and typically affect the reproductive organs of both men and women. Nonetheless, documented cases have shown occurrences in other locations such as the adrenals, liver, pleura, and peritoneum. Identifying an adenomatoid tumor in these areas poses a significant diagnostic challenge due to their infrequency. In most instances, patients do not display symptoms, and the deposits are incidentally discovered during surgery for other medical conditions. We present the case of a 36-years-old male who presented with symptoms of incarcerated hernia and underwent urgent laparoscopic hernia repair, during which multiple deposits were incidentally discovered. Subsequent histopathological examination confirmed benign mesothelial cell proliferation consistent with benign adenomatoid tumor
