Abstract

Diverticular disease (DD) can have different presentations, including chronic colitis. However, diverticular disease-associated colitis (DAC) is a separate entity that can be associated with a granulomatous inflammation. DAC usually affects the left colon with no involvement of the cecum and the ascending colon. In this setting, Crohn's disease is high in the differential diagnosis. Although granulomatous colitis associated with diverticulosis has been previously described, this is the first case affecting the right colon to be reported in the English literature according to our search of the PubMed database. The patient presented with a tumor-like mass abutting the right colon that was further diagnosed as a granulomatous reaction secondary to DAC.
