[Massive rectal hemorrhage related to an isolated diverticulum of the right colon in an young patient].
We report a case of a 32-year-old man admitted for massive rectal bleeding related to a solitary diverticulum of the right colon. A superior mesenteric angiogram performed in emergency indicated the site of bleeding, but the correct diagnosis was only established at the histologic examination of the right colon that was surgically resected.
