  • Title: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor of Meckel's diverticulum: a rare cause of intestinal volvulus.
    Author: Cengız F, Sun MA, Esen ÖS, Erkan N.
    Journal: Turk J Gastroenterol; 2012 Aug; 23(4):410-2. PubMed ID: 22965517.
    Abstract:
    Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract. Most cases are asymptomatic; however, when symptomatic, it is often misdiagnosed at presentation. Common complications presenting in adults include bleeding, obstruction, diverticulitis, and perforation. Tumors within a Meckel's diverticulum are rare. Herein, we present a gastrointestinal stromal tumor arising from the Meckel's diverticulum that led to intestinal obstruction by volvulus.
