Abstract
Acute lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage associated with
the appendix is rare. We report on a 42-year-old male patient who
presented with hematochezia from solitary appendiceal bleeding.
The patient was admitted to our hospital with rectal bleeding, and
abdominal computed tomography identified active contrast leakage
in the distal portion of the appendix. During a subsequent urgent
colonoscopy, active bleeding in the appendiceal orifice was
identified. The patient was successfully treated with a laparoscopic
appendectomy and hematochezia did not recur postoperatively.
Microscopic examination revealed an eroded appendiceal mucosa,
focal inflammatory infiltrates, and a normal submucosal vessel
without evidence of vascular malformation.
Key Words: lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage, appendiceal bleeding,
appendix, erosion
