  • Title: Benign ulceration of the cecum presenting with massive hemorrhage: report of a case and review of the literature.
    Author: Lospinuso M, Chang F, Moqtaderi F, Bloom ND.
    Journal: Dis Colon Rectum; 1982 Sep; 25(6):586-8. PubMed ID: 6981496.
    Abstract:
    Massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage secondary to benign cecal ulceration is a rare occurrence. The diagnosis of bleeding from this benign condition is rarely entertained and is often a finding on a pathologic examination. A case of massive hemorrhage from a cecal ulcer is presented, and the literature is reviewed. The role of angiographic demonstration of the lesion, if angiography is readily available, is emphasized, but surgery is the definitive therapy.
