The author presents a young patient presenting with lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to tuberculous appendicitis. Though an ileo-cecal region is the most frequent site of involvement of the intestinal tuberculosis, vermiform appendix involvement is rare. Moreover, intestinal tuberculosis is an uncommon cause of lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Therefore, bleeding from tuberculous appendicitis is a very rare presentation. In addition, the author demonstrates colonoscopic appearance of the tuberculous appendicitis.
作者报告了一名因结核性阑尾炎导致下消化道出血的年轻患者。虽然回盲部是肠结核最常累及的部位，但阑尾受累很少见。此外，肠结核是下消化道出血的罕见原因。因此，结核性阑尾炎出血是一种非常罕见的表现。此外，作者展示了结核性阑尾炎的结肠镜表现。
