title: False-positive Meckel's scan in a case of infected ovarian cyst.
abstract: Abdominal scanning using sodium pertechnetate Tc 99m is useful in demonstrating Meckel's diverticula containing ectopic gastric mucosa. However, other structures like the uterus may also concentrate 99mTc. We present a case which showed a focal area of increased uptake in the pelvis due to an infected ovarian cyst.
