In the light of findings emerging from a critical review of the literature, the Authors present a case of solitary non-specific ulcer of the transverse colon successfully treated by surgery. The various pathogenetic theories are examined, and the diagnostic work-up to which the patient must be subjected is discussed. The study concludes with a description of the choice of therapy.
