    Author: Chandramohan K, Agarwal M, Gurjar G, Gatti RC, Patel MH, Trivedi P, Kothari KC.
    Journal: World J Surg Oncol; 2007 May 12; 5():50. PubMed ID: 17498311.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Meckel's Diverticulum is the most commonly encountered congenital anomaly of the small intestine, occurring in approximately 2% of the population. Occasionally Meckel's diverticulum harbors neoplasms. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65 year old gentleman, presented with a pelvic mass. On exploratory laparotomy, it turned out to be gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) arising from Meckel's diverticulum. Short history and review of literature are discussed. CONCLUSION: Neoplasms occurring from Meckel's diverticulum, even though rare, should be considered as differential diagnosis of pelvic masses arising from bowel, wherever imaging modalities fail to give a definitive diagnosis.
