The article describes a 65 year-old female with a 40 years' history of abdominal discomfort and a supposed intrathoracal lipoma who was admitted to hospital with acute obstruction of the large bowel. Emergency laparotomy revealed a subcostosternal diaphragmatic hernia (hernia of Morgagni) containing omentum and a segment of transverse colon.
