“…Nano et al [78]discuss the phenomenon of a intermittently palpable mass, the reason they call it a phantom tumor, similar findings are reported by others as well [5, 50, 52, 71]. Objective enlargement of the mass is found in 15 patients [2, 17, 18, 33, 38, 50, 51, 65, 68, 79, 86, 103]. As Choong et al [84]discuss, this increase in volume of a GCD can be related to differences in the intracolonic and GCD pressure through the communicating ostium.…”

“…Further papers were identified by cross-referencing from the reference lists of relevant articles. A total of 135 patients were identified, presenting with a total of 155 GCD [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, …”

“…In 2 cases a communication between the cystic lesion and the gastrointestinal tract could be detected [33, 36]. In the other 10 cases (83%) no communication was found [19, 26, 38, 41, 53, 63, 72, 80, 82, 89]. …”

“…One of the complications of a barium enema examination in case of a GCD is perforation of the GCD, necessitating urgent surgical solution. Perforation of the GCD after barium enema within 24 h [38, 58]and after 48 h [81]has been described. …”

Background: A rare complication of diverticulosis of the colon is giant colonic diverticula (GCD). The condition was first described in English literature in 1953 [1, 2]. Methods: A Medline search was undertaken for English, French and German language articles on ’giant colonic diverticula’. Results: A total of 135 patients were identified, presenting with a total of 155 GCD [1–98]. With a complication rate of 28% and an operative mortality of 5%, GCD seems to have a high clinical significance. Radiological examination of choice seems to be plain abdominal X-ray and CT examination, barium enema carries the risk of perforation of the diverticulum, and should not be performed. Conclusions: There are different therapeutic options, in our opinion diverticulectomy alone is not the treatment of choice. Because of the possibility of recurrence and oncological reasons, colectomy seems to be the best treatment. The creation of a protecting colostomy depends on other operative findings.

Objectives: To report an unusual presentation of a giant sigmoid diverticulum in the colon. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: The patient presented with an abdominal mass, altered bowel habits, and increasing weight. The provisional diagnosis was made by barium enema and CT scan. The patient underwent laparotomy, revealing a perforated giant sigmoid diverticulum that was excised using Hartmann’s procedure. The perforation could have been precipitated by the barium enema study. The histopathology of the resected specimen revealed giant sigmoid diverticulum with no evidence of malignancy. Conclusion: CT scan was adequate for diagnosis of the suspected giant sigmoid diverticulum. Surgical intervention was successfully used to excise the diverticulum.
