Abstract

The report of diverticulosis of right colon in a patient formerly operated on for perforation of caecum single ulcer appeared to the authors as a confirmation of a common etiology between both lesions. The single ulcer would probably represent a form of manifestation for the acute phlogosis of a diverticulum.
