L. Ekwaro, P.M. Kizza, G. Nassali, J. Lubega
Abstract
Acute massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding, when it occurs, may present a diagnostic and treatment challenge to the surgeon. We report a case an ectopic pregnancy that eroded the colon and presented with severe rectal bleeding. The paper discusses the differential diagnoses, management and outcome of massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
