Background. Meckel?s diverticulum (MD) is a congenital anomaly of the small intestine. It results from incomplete obliteration and resorption of the proximal omphaloenteric duct connecting yolk sac with primitive gut in the fetal period. Case report. A case of 20-year old female with ectopic pancreatic rests in a MD was reported. She was hospitalized with clinical signs of acute appendicitis. During surgery an inflamated Meckel?s diverticulum was found and a clinoid resection of the diverticulum was performed. Histologic examination revealed pancreatic tissue in the removed diverticulum. Endocrine cells (EC) were detected with Masson staining and aberrant pancreatic tissue with immunocytochemical LSAB2 method using pan cytokeratin as epithelial marker. Conclusion. Most of MD are asymptomatic and accessory finding during laparothomias for different causes, but complications of undiagnozed MD can be serious (diverticulitis, perforation with peritonitis or intestinal obstruction caused by invagination). In unclear cases, additional cytochemical and immunocytochemical diagnostics could be done.

Pancreatic Heterotopia

We report a case of adenomyoma of the small intestine arising in a Meckel diverticulum. The patient was a 22-month-old boy who presented with signs and symptoms of intussusception. At surgery, a Meckel diverticulum was found and removed. On histologic examination, a tumor consisting of dilated cystic glands and smooth muscle bundles was identified. A diagnosis of adenomyoma arising in a Meckel diverticulum was made. A review of the literature showed that only six other pediatric cases of adenomyoma of the small intestine have been reported. The presence of an adenomyoma in a young patient within a Meckel diverticulum favors the view that adenomyomas are a variant of pancreatic heterotopia.
