Abstract
Here we report a case of a 60 years old woman who came to the Emergency Department of San Martino Hospital suffering from abdominal pain for about a week with high fever in the last 24 hours. The final histological examination led to the diagnosis of ileal diverticulosis associated with perforation and peritonitis with a fibrotic reaction involving the last ileal loop, the caecum and the appendix.
