Resumen
GONZALEZ-GONZALEZ,, Jorge Alejandro et al. True Giant Diverticulum of the Left Colon. A Case Report. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2023, vol.38, n.2, pp.206-210. Epub 07-Sep-2023. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.927.
This abstract presents a clinical case of a male patient who exhibited clinical symptoms and tomographic findings of an abdominal mass in the descending colon. The diagnostic process and treatment are described, accompanied by a literature review. The review establishes the definition of the condition and its surgical indications. It is important to note that true giant diverticulum of the colon is a rare entity, with fewer than 200 reported cases in the literature.
