Two cases of retrocostoxiphoid hernia are reported. Both patients were adults. The hernia was strangled in one case and symptomatic in the second case. The diagnosis was confirmed by radiology. Reduction of the visceral hernia and closure of the orifice was carried out after laparotomy. A review of literature and of clinicopathological features are given in the present article. Histogenesis and differential diagnosis are also discussed.
