Tumors within a Meckel diverticulum are a rare complication observed in only 0.5%-3.2% of symptomatic cases. The majority of tumors are benign, but some malignant tumors, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) can occur.
We report the case of a 48-year-old female who presented with severe abdominal pain and nausea and was found to have a GIST arising from a Meckel diverticulum.
The differential diagnosis of a pelvic mass in a middle-aged female presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms must remain broad. With an atypical presentation site, distinguishing benign tumors from malignant tumors such as GISTs is of paramount importance.
梅克尔憩室内的肿瘤是一种罕见的并发症,仅在0.5%-3.2%的有症状病例中观察到。大多数肿瘤是良性的,但也可能发生一些恶性肿瘤,如胃肠道间质瘤(GIST)。
我们报告一例48岁女性病例,该患者出现严重腹痛和恶心,经检查发现患有起源于梅克尔憩室的胃肠道间质瘤。
对于出现胃肠道症状的中年女性盆腔肿块,鉴别诊断范围必须广泛。由于表现部位不典型,区分良性肿瘤与胃肠道间质瘤等恶性肿瘤至关重要。
