Primary lymphoma of Meckel diverticulum: a case report.
A case of a primary lymphoma of Meckel's diverticulum in a 6-year-old Iraqi boy presenting clinically as acute appendicitis is reported. Exploration revealed a ruptured gangrenous Meckel's diverticulum with an ileo-ileal intussusception at the diverticulum origin. A fairly comprehensive search through the English language literature has failed to reveal any other report of a primary lymphoma of Meckel's diverticulum leading to acute intestinal obstruction.
