I think Diverticulitis mostly involve Sigmoid colon............
so pain shud be in left lower quadrant............
while appendicitis is uncommon in old age....... but may occur.
I think this is appendicitis........... 8)

In this scenario, i think we can have both possible diagnosis appendicitis & diverliculitis
So Kaplan answer is diverticulitis, as i think because they base on the statictics that diverticulitis is more frequent.
This statistics is surveyed in US, so it is not necessary the truth in many other country, when i am a student in my country, in front of this scenario :arrow: The diagnosis is acute appendicitis
