Abstract
Lower gastrointestinal bleeding in young adults is rare. Clinical diagnosis can be
delayed because of obscured origin. Immediate and late patient clinical outcome is
determined by the blood loss and risks of transfusion. The authors present a rare
case of nodular lymphoid hyperplasia presenting as massive gastrointestinal bleed.
