Martina Hager et al. J Gastrointest Surg. 2005 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Tumors and perforation of Meckel's diverticulum are rare manifestations. A gastrointestinal stromal tumor in a Meckel's diverticulum causing perforation and subsequent peritonitis in a 75-year-old man is presented. The literature on tumors in Meckel's diverticulum is extensively reviewed and discussed.
