Colouterine fistula is a rare clinical entity. A literature search revealed only a few reports dealing with this complex problem, mostly resulting as a complication of diverticular disease of the colon. During a 4-month period, we diagnosed and successfully treated 2 women with a malignant colouterine fistula originating from a primary colorectal carcinoma invading the uterus. We herein report on our experience dealing with this kind of pathology, with special emphasis on the surgical technique used to resect the tumoral mass "en bloc".
