[Retrospective diagnosis of stromal tumor with liver and nodal metastasis in a hemorrhagic Meckel's diverticulum appearing 8 years after the first resection].
Meckel's diverticulum is the most prevalent congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract (0.3-4%). The gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) are rare tumours. Only few cases of GIST developed in Meckel's diverticulum have been published in the literature. We reported a case of a woman with a diagnosis of GIST of Meckel's diverticulum retrospectively made 8 years after the resection of an haemorrhagic Meckel's diverticulum, whom she developed a large size intra-abdominal tumour with liver and nodes metastasis.
