Pediatric Meckel’s Diverticulum: Report of 208 Cases and Review of the Literature.

Summary

We report a review of 208 cases of Meckel's diverticulum among pediatric patients from one single institution. One of the aims of this report is to highlight the different diagnostic modalities of Meckel's diverticulum since a majority of cases is undiagnosed prior to surgery.  The first case reported is a desmoid tumor arising at the tip of diverticulum, a case that, to our knowledge, has not been previously reported.
