  • Title: Torsion of leiomyosarcoma of Meckel's diverticulum.
    Author: Niv Y, Abu-Avid S, Kopelman C, Oren M.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1986 Apr; 81(4):288-91. PubMed ID: 3962955.
    Abstract:
    A rare case report of leiomyosarcoma of Meckel's diverticulum, which caused torsion and strangulation of the diverticulum, is presented. The clinical picture was similar to acute appendicitis, which was the working diagnosis when the 42-yr-old Arab woman was sent to surgery. Although rare, leiomyosarcoma is the most common tumor of Meckel's diverticulum, and has to be considered in the differential diagnosis of right lower abdominal pain.
