title: Stercoral perforation of the colon: report of a new location.
abstract: Stercoral perforations of the colon unassociated with obstructive lesions are rarely reported. With the exception of one case report which described a stercoral perforation of the cecum, all the reported perforations occurred at the sigmoid or rectosigmoid colon. This report describes a new location of perforation which hitherto has not been reported.
