Bleeding caecal mass: a rare finding.

Bleeding from a caecal mass is a common clinical scenario encountered in surgical practice. Tumours, diverticulitis, inflammation and vascular malformations are the most common causes of this bleeding. We present a case of a submucosal bleeding caecal mass, which turned out to be an appendiceal faecolith protruding into the caecum. Although we found one reported case of this previously, it was not encountered in the emergency setting.
