Abstract
We present a case of a Richter's hernia through a traumatic, diaphragmatic defect
presenting with the appearance of an abscess on computed tomography. We underscore
the importance of this hernia variant, the need for its recognition, and stress caution
in percutaneous aspiration of a lesion where a hernia might exist.
