| Popis: | In this case report, a man presenting with a rare symptom of appendix cancer is dis- cussed. Hematuria, which was the key diagnostic feature in this patient, has never been re- ported as a presenting feature of appendix cancer which may explain why this patient has been experiencing this symptom for months and yet have not get the proper di- agnosis. As we discussed in the case report, although appendiceal cancer is a potentially life-threatening issue, it is frequently missed in patients. Therefore, we believe report- ing this key symptom in this journal would help physicians to make a more accurate diagnosis in this matter. |
