Abstract

<p>The patient is a 74-year-old woman without subjective symptoms. She performed a surveillance colonoscopy approximately 1 year after lower rectal cancer surgery. A slightly yellowish hemispherical elevated lesion with a diameter of approximately 2 cm was observed in the transverse colon, located above the hepatic fold. The elevated lesion did not return to its normal depression as diverticulum after the air supply. Still, the wall was very soft and formed a depression by applying pressure with forceps. The dimpling was positive, and the inverted colonic diverticulum was diagnosed. The patient needs to be followed carefully because of the risk of inflammation, bleeding, and intussusception.</p>
