title: Giant colonic diverticulum: presentation of one case and review of the literature.
abstract: Since the first case described in 1946, fewer than 100 cases of giant colonic diverticula have been reported in the literature. We discuss the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic findings in a case of giant colonic diverticulum and review the etiology and differential diagnosis.
