    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Microscopic hematuria is a common incidental finding in patients with acute appendicitis.
    • Appendicitis typically presents with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

    Observation:

    • A case of gross, painless hematuria was observed.
    • This was the sole presenting symptom in the patient.

    Findings:

    • Gross hematuria was identified as the late and only presenting feature of appendicitis.
    • This atypical presentation challenges conventional diagnostic approaches for appendicitis.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering appendicitis in the differential diagnosis of gross hematuria.
