Abstract

A benign cecal ulcer is an uncommon lesion. The etiology remains unknown, and there are no pathognomonic lesions or symptoms. Lower gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage secondary to benign cecal ulcer is the most common complication. Herein, the case of a 24-year-old man with a benign cecal ulcer presenting with a massive lower gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage requiring transfusion until a exploratory laparotomy and right hemicolectomy, is reported with a review of the literature. Surgical intervention is warranted if malignancy is suspected or if the patient has signs of uncontrollable hemorrhage, perforation, or peritonitis.
