Abstract:
Solitary benign cecal ulcer is a non-usual finding without characteristic clinical or radiological performance. Because ofits little frequency and its clinical symptoms often suspicious for the presence of severe diseases like are malignancies, acute abdomen or lower gastrointestinal bleeding, this finding is only rarely diagnosed preoperatively. Definitive diagnosis is almost always made pathologically. In this case report we describe clinical, radiological and pathological findings in our patient with difficulties caused by a solitary benign cecal ulcer.
