摘要：This case reports the concomitant and unexpected finding of carcinoid tumour within a Meckel’s diverticulum presenting as an acute abdomen due to gangrenous appendicitis in a young adult male. Both Meckel’s diverticula and carcinoid tumour are rare clinical entities, and carcinoid tumours occurring within a Meckel’s diverticulum are even more uncommon. The initial clinical presentation of carcinoid tumours occurring in a Meckel’s diverticulum is usually similar to that of appendicle carcinoids.Carcinoid tumours are the most common primary tumour of the small bowel. They resemble appendicle carcinoids to the extent that they are usually small, single, and asymptomatic. Surgical treatment of Meckel’s diverticula is recommended procedure. By presenting this case we wished to stress the value of systematic identification and removal of the diverticulum during laparotomy and to underline the importance of exploration the Meckel’s diverticulum particularly in case of young adult subjects.
