    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 1990 Feb; 77(2):143-6. PubMed ID: 2346684.
    Abstract:
    We present two new cases of cancer in a Meckel's diverticulum, representing 3.3% of the complicated Meckel's diverticula encountered in our department. The first case was a carcinoid tumor encountered in a pathology study of an inflamed Meckel's diverticulum, and the second case was a leiomyosarcoma on a Meckel's diverticulum that presented as diverticular perforation. We emphasize the advanced age of the two patients and review the cases reported in Spain and in the Western literature.
