Core Tip	This article presents a systematic and comprehensive review of all the studies concerning giant colonic diverticulum. The majority of the published studies are case reports on single cases. The authors performed an extensive literature search and a systematic review, with the aim of collecting and providing complete and updated information regarding the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of this rare disease. The results of the review indicate that surgical treatment, consisting predominantly of colonic resection with en bloc resection of the diverticulum, is the preferred option for giant colonic diverticulum and guarantees excellent results.
