ResumoCom o crescente envelhecimento populacional, a doença diverticular e suas complicações podem apresentar porcentagens cada vez maiores. A presença de inflamação e infecção dos divertículos é denominada diverticulite, que pode ocorrer em todo o cólon. O sigmóide é a região mais comumente acometida e, dificilmente a doença ocorre abaixo da reflexão peritoneal. O presente artigo objetiva relatar um caso raro de abdome agudo perfurativo causado por uma diverticulite pseudotumoral, que simulava neoplasia infiltrativa do cólon direito. O processo inflamatório foi classificado como complicado, pois foram observados abscessos pericólicos, obstruções e perfuração dos divertículos. À laparotomia, tais lesões mostraram-se indistinguíveis de lesões neoplásicas, sendo necessária abordagem cirúrgica com ressecção ampliada, cujo objetivo final foi realizar a terapêutica curativa das lesões independente da sua etiologia. Right colon pseudotumoral diverticulitis -a challenge diagnostic: case reportDiverticulite pseudotumoral de cólon direito -um desafio diagnóstico: relato de caso Abstract With increasing population aging, diverticular disease and its complications may present increasing percentages. The presence of inflammation and infection of the diverticula is called diverticulitis, which can occur throughout the colon. The sigmoid is the most commonly affected region and, rarely, the disease occurs below the peritoneal reflex. The present article aims to report a rare case of acute piercing abdomen caused by a pseudotumoral diverticulitis, which simulated right colon infiltrative neoplasia. The inflammatory process was classified as complicated because pericolic abscesses, obstructions and perforation of the diverticula were observed. At laparotomy, such le-sions were indistinguishable from neoplastic lesions, and a surgical approach with en-larged resection was necessary, whose ultimate objective was to perform the curative therapy of the lesions regardless of their etiology.
