Cir Cir. 2023;91(5):716-718. doi: 10.24875/CIRU.21000794.ABSTRACTA 40-year-old female with a 24-hour course of abdominal pain suggestive of acute appendicitis. An emergency laparotomy was performed, finding plastron in the cecum and ascending colon, color changes, with purulent liquid and 5 cm in diameter, fixed to Toldt's. It was decided to perform a right hemicolectomy with an ileotransverse end-to-side anastomosis with adequate postsurgical evolution. The histopathological report showed acute purulent diverticulitis of the cecum, which is very low incidence in the Mexican population, that's why this case report is carried out.PMID:37844895 | DOI:10.24875/CIRU.21000794
