    <abstract language="eng">A 49-year-old African American male with history of diverticulitis presented to the ED with abdominal pain and feculent discharge from the umbilicus. CT scan of the abdomen showed a fistulous tract from the sigmoid colon to the umbilicus. Labs revealed a markedly elevated fecal calprotectin level and colonoscopy demonstrated friable-appearing mucosa of the sigmoid colon.  Segmental colitis associated with diverticulosis (SCAD) refers to a chronic, localized, nongranulomatous inflammation, usually in the sigmoid colon.  SCAD spares the rectum and the proximal colon endoscopically and histologically. We present a case of diverticular disease associated with an unusual fistula and features of SCAD.</abstract>
