Abstract
|
|
|
|
Colonic diverticulitis develops in 10-25% of patients with colonic diverticulosis. Most patients complain of lower abdominal pain and fever. The complications of diverticulitis are abscess, fistula, bowel obstruction, free perforation, and panperitonitis. The relationship between diverticulitis and colon cancer is complicated and conflicted. We report a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer, who initially presented with acute colonic diverticulitis in the same location 3 months earlier. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of colon cancer with ovarian metastasis presenting as acute diverticulitis.
