Popis: The presence of carcinoid tumor in a Meckel's diverticulum is a rare entity. This report describes a 56-year-old man who was admitted to hospital with symptomatic gallbladder stones. At laparotomy the gallstones were confirmed and routine exploration of the peritoneal cavity identified a small bowel diverticulum about 60 cm of the ileocecal valve. Cholecystectomy and resection of a small bowel segment containing the diverticulum were performed. Histology revealed carcinoid tumour in Meckel's diverticulum.
