Abstract

Although Meckel′s diverticulum is the most common congenital gastrointestinal disorder, it is controversial whether asymptomatic diverticula in adults should be respected. The authors report the case of a patient who was operated due to ileus caused by adhesions and a Meckel′s diverticulum without any sign of inflammation was accidentally noted and removed. As a surprise, the pathological examination of the diverticulum proved carcinoid tumor, a neuroendocrine malignant tumor. The case raises the importance of the removal of asymptomatic Meckel′s diverticulum.

意外无症状梅克尔憩室的类癌。
虽然梅克尔憩室是最常见的先天性胃肠道疾病,但成人无症状憩室是否应得到尊重仍存在争议。作者报告了一例因粘连引起肠梗阻而手术的患者,没有任何炎症迹象的梅克尔憩室被意外发现并切除。出乎意料的是,憩室病理检查证实为类癌,一种神经内分泌恶性肿瘤。该病例提出了切除无症状梅克尔憩室的重要性。
