Description

<p>A 72–year–old man was admitted with a prior diagnosis of advanced rectal cancer with invasion of the bladder and small bowel. Clinical examination revealed a strangulated small bowel obstruction. Emergency surgery showed that the rectal cancer had also invaded the appendix and confirmed the presence of small–bowel strangulation. An appendectomy, small bowel resection, and colostomy were performed. Strangulated small–bowel obstruction caused by rectal cancer invasion of the appendix is rare, which is why this case warrants reporting. When addressing patients with a malignant pelvic tumor, surgeons must consider the possibility of a strangulated bowel obstruction arising from an appendix harboring an invasive malignant tumor.</p>
