| Résumé : | A 41 years old male farmer was interviewed in the frame of our clerkship as general practitioner in Cameroon. He had 3 years of inguinal relapsing swollen groin history. He consulted a traditional practitioner few times, without any improvement of his health condition. He never presented to a clinician. A google scolar and medline search on quality of life and hernias led to few articles on the specific topic on this rare condition. There were impact on professional activity and social family life. When taking into consideration the unique characteristic of such a situation in an informal worker, we offered to the worker to have counseling and a surgery in a clinic, and a return to work with only progressive load activity.We suggested that a general sensitization be carried out in farmers of informal sector, with information on professional risks in Cameroon.
