Stercoral ulcers result from severe, prolonged constipation. Stercoral ulcer perforation is a rare event resulting in severe peritonitis and has a very high associated mortality rate. We describe a 78-year-old man with severe constipation associated with stercoral ulcer perforation undiagnosed prior to autopsy.Entities:
