title: MDCT findings of a Meckel's diverticulum with ectopic pancreatic tissue.
abstract: A Meckel's diverticulum becomes symptomatic due to complications such as hemorrhage or bowel obstruction. The presence of ectopic pancreatic tissue in the diverticulum can be associated with such complications. To our knowledge, multi-detector row CT findings of ectopic pancreatic tissue in a Meckel's diverticulum have never been reported. Here, we report the multi-detector row CT features of the ectopic pancreatic tissue in a Meckel's diverticulum.
