We present the case of a 57-year-old woman with a large (7 x 5 cm), asymptomatic lumbar swelling. A lumbar MRI scan revealed a hernia of the superior lumbar triangle (Grynfeltt-Lesshaft hernia). Thus far, 300 cases have been described in the literature. Therapeutic options include surgical and conservative treatment.
