[Solitary ulcer of the rectum and granulomatous appendicitis, a casual association?].
We report a case of solitary rectal ulcer (SRU) in a patient who had been previously diagnosed of granulomatous appendicitis. Both entities were histologically confirmed. The patient is asymptomatic after appendectomy done one and a half years ago, demonstrating the low recurrence rate of granulomatous appendicitis and the silent course of solitary rectal ulcer in many patients. Both entities may be related.
