Abstrakt: We appreciate the authors' contributions in the article by Teng I et al i .[1] The authors described a giant Meckel's diverticulum (MD) that presented with the classic clinical picture of appendicitis. The 20-cm-long MD described by the authors is indeed a giant MD, defined as an MD with a length >5 cm.[2] However, this is not the largest reported MD in existing literature as the authors suggest.
