ABSTRACT
A giant colonic diverticulum is a rare complication of diverticulosis, and an inguinal hernia is a common diagnosis for patients presenting with a painful groin mass. A 52-year-old male presented to the emergency room with a 3-hour complaint of progressive, constant, right-groin pain with an inguinal mass. After manual reduction of the inguinal hernia, the patient complained of pain in the right upper quadrant. Operative findings showed a transverse colon diverticulitis without perforation. We report here that case of a transverse colon giant diverticulum presenting as an atypical incarcerated inguinal hernia.
