Abstract
Simple, isolated nonspecific colonic ulcer (NSCU) is a rare pathological entity which has not been adequately explored in the past literature. It is predominant between the ages of 40 and 60 years, and the most common complication is perforation which can be life threatening. Here we present a case of a young female who presented with a perforated NSCU and was successfully managed surgically.
