Background: Campylobacter fetus endocarditis is uncommon and may be life-threatening.
Case Report: A 91-year-old patient with rectal villous adenocarcinoma was admitted with fever and recent complaints of popliteal pain.

Cure was achieved with antibiotics and surgery of the aneurysm without valvular replacement.
