| Abstract: | Colo-rectal fistula secondary to complicated sigmoid diverticular disease is a rare but important complication that can present with symptoms mimicking invasive malignancy. We present the case of a 47-year-old male who was referred with a six-week history of lower abdominal discomfort radiating to the perianal region, tenesmus, urinary urgency, frequency and occasional frank rectal bleeding. |
