False-positive Meckel's scan in a case of infected ovarian cyst.

Abdominal scanning using sodium pertechnetate Tc 99m is useful in demonstrating Meckel's diverticula containing ectopic gastric mucosa. However, other structures like the uterus may also concentrate 99mTc. We present a case which showed a focal area of increased uptake in the pelvis due to an infected ovarian cyst.
