JAMA, 1964
ALTHOUGH DIVERTICULA of the small intestine commonly reach a diameter of several centimeters, it is rare for those involving the colon to reach a size greater than 1 to 2 cm in diameter. 1 A small number of true giant diverticula of the large bowel, however, have been reported in the literature.

Giant diverticulum of colon treated by diverticulectomy

Hospital Medicine, 2000
Giant diverticulum of the colon is a rare condition. If left untreated it will enlarge and give rise to symptoms or serious complications so it is best treated electively once the diagnosis is made. Local excision of the diverticulum could be adequate surgical treatment as an alternative to sigmoid colectomy.

Solitary Diverticulum of the Colon in Childhood

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1961
Solitary diverticulum of the descending colon in a child appears to be sufficiently rare to warrant publication; it has not been possible to find a similar case in the literature. This case is even more unusual in that an accurate diagnosis was made on clinical grounds alone by the patient's general practitioner, Dr. S.

A case of giant sigmoid colonic diverticulum (GCD) is presented in which plain films showed an unchanging persistent large gas collection that did not opacify on barium enema. The computed tomographic scan revealed the GCD in close apposition to the adjacent sigmoid diverticulosis.
