In this note we characterize isoperimetric regions inside almost-convex cones. More precisely, as in the case of convex cones, we show that isoperimetric sets are given by intersecting the cone with a ball centered at the origin.

Keywords: Isoperimetric inequality, almost-convex cones.

Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary:49Q20;Secondary:49K1.
