Abstract
Question: A 61-year-old man with known diverticulosis and a recurrent ventral hernia requiring multiple open surgical repairs reported a single episode of self-limited hematochezia. He denied abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, altered bowel habits, rectal pain, fecal urgency, weight loss, fever, or chills. He had a remote smoking history with excessive alcohol consumption. The physical examination was entirely unremarkable. Laboratory investigations were also unrevealing, including normal hemoglobin (14.1 g/dL) and mean corpuscular volume (85.9 fL).
