Gastrointestinal bleeding caused by a GIST of Meckel's diverticulum--a case report.

ABSTRACT

Meckel's diverticulum is a common congenital anomaly of the small intestine, affecting 2% of the population. Neoplastic transformation is infrequent and gastrointestinal stromal tumours are exceptional in this location. We report a case of gastrointestinal bleeding caused by a gastrointestinal stromal tumour of Meckel's diverticulum.
