Core Tip Refractory appendiceal abscess in adult patients should raise high clinical suspicion of underlying colon cancer, especially when conservative treatment fails. Prevotella melaninogenica, an anaerobic opportunistic pathogen, can cause life-threatening bloodstream infection in colon cancer patients. Timely pathogen detection and radical surgery are essential to improve patient prognosis and reduce mortality.
