Lower gastrointestinal tract bleeds due to appendiceal hemorrhage are extremely rare. This emergency condition requires a multidisciplinary approach to not only give a prompt diagnosis and exclude differential diagnosis but also crucial to proceed with proper intervention and cause of bleeding. In this paper, we report a case of appendiceal hemorrhage in a young male patient who presented with lower gastrointestinal bleeding. The patient was diagnosed with appendiceal hemorrhage by an abdominal computed tomography scan and gastrointestinal tract endoscopy. Postsurgical follow-up was uneventful, and the histopathology confirmed hemorrhagic and no typical inflammatory signs. It suggested that although appendiceal hemorrhage was rare, this condition should be considered one of the causes of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. |
