Abstract

A 44-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of an abscess of the left inguinal region. An incision of the abscess yielded elimination of feces and a fistula was formed at this place. Fistulography revealed a colocutaneous fistula due to diverticulitis of the descending colon. Transverse colostomy reduced the colocutaneous fistula, but the fistula did not close. Partial colectomy was performed and the resected colon revealed fistula formation, wall thickening and stenosis of the cavity. Pathological findings were consistent with those of diverticulitis of the colon, and had no evidence of specific inflammation or inflammatory bowel disease. <BR>We report a case of a colocutaneous fistula due to diverticulitis of the colon that is a rare entity.
