Inverted Meckel's diverticulum.
Although Meckel's diverticulum is a relatively common anomaly, inverted Meckel's diverticulum has been reported rarely. We describe a 59-year-old woman with inverted Meckel's diverticulum located at the distal ileum simulating a benign tumor. Computed tomography showed a small mass with a central area of low fat density, and appearance not described previously.
