Abstract

Appendix bleeding is an uncommon clinical phenomenon. In this article, we reported a case of appendix bleeding with painless bloody diarrhea. With the analysis of clinical features, clinical examination, experimental test and literature review, we diagnosed that the appendix bleeding might be caused by granulomatous appendicitis. This successfully cured case might be a reference for later diagnosis and treatment of appendix bleeding with painless bloody diarrhea.
