A diverticulum is a sac-like protrusion of the gastrointestinal tract, commonly occurring in the colon wall. 1 To be specific, colonic diverticulosis is a state in which part of the colon wall protrudes in a sac-like shape. 2 Diverticula are common among older adults, occurring in about half of individuals between 60 and 80 years old, and affecting men and women equally. Factors that may be associated with diverticula include a low-fibre diet, abnormal contractions and spasms of the muscles in the colon wall, obesity, lack of exercise, and various medications. 3 Diverticula are classified into congenital or acquired, unilateral or bilateral, and true or false. True diverticula involve all layers of the structure, including the muscularis propria and adventitia, while false diverticula do not involve the muscular layers or adventitia. 4 Diverticula are rarely encountered in the oral region. To the best of our knowledge, only 13 cases have been reported in the literature. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] All those cases arose in the buccal mucosa, mainly in elder individuals (age range, 42-89 years). The characteristic oral finding was a bag-like depression in the mucous membrane, with some cases showing concomitant food impaction 6,7,11,13 and inflammatory changes such as redness and bleeding from the mucosa. 5 The diverticulum ranged from 3 mm to 70 mm in diameter, with a depth of 5-100 mm. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] We report herein an additional case of a buccal mucosal diverticulum.
