Rare reports of skip lesions have previously been reported in the literature. We present a case of skip lesions known prior to surgery and managed by pull-through of the right colon that allowed the preservation of the colon.<br />Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest None declared.<br /> (The Author(s).
