Abstract
Our case involved a 28-year-old man who presented with life-threatening haematochezia. Computed tomography angiogram revealed contrast extravasation from the appendix pooling in the caecum. Management via laparoscopic stapled partial caecectomy was successful. Histopathology revealed focal mild acute appendicitis with focal ulceration to submucosa.
