  • Title: Benign cecal ulcer.
    Author: Himal HS.
    Journal: Surg Endosc; 1989; 3(3):170-2. PubMed ID: 2814781.
    Abstract:
    Benign cecal ulceration, generally presenting as a right lower abdominal mass or lower gastrointestinal bleeding in older patients, is often associated with typhoid fever, cytomegalovirus, and ingestion of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Diagnosis is generally made during surgery, but conservative treatment often leads to complete healing. In elective patients, repeated X-ray examinations of the colon, especially with air contrast barium enema and colonoscopy, are recommended to distinguish benign cecal ulceration from a malignancy.
