title: Carcinoid of Meckel's diverticulum. Report of two cases with perforation, in one with concomitant foreign body.
abstract: Histologic examination of two perforated Meckel's diverticula revealed carcinoid tumours. One of the diverticula also contained a foreign body. All resected diverticula should be histologically examined, as ileal carcinoids often are multiple, and even small tumours have metastasization potentiality.
