Abstract
A 31-yr-old man was seen with acute gastrointestinal bleeding. Superior mesenteric angiography revealed a vascular blush. This corresponded to an area of narrowing seen on the small bowel series. A diagnosis of malignant neoplasm was made preoperatively. At laparotomy, a Meckel''s diverticulum with ulceration and stricture formation extending into the ileum was found. The histology showed gastric mucosa with ulceration. This report depicts small bowel narrowing secondary to Meckel''s diverticulum.
