Pseudolipoma of inverted Meckel's diverticulum: clinical, radiological and pathological correlation

Three cases of isolated inverted Meckel's diverticulum are described. In two cases an initial pathological diagnosis of small bowel lipoma was suggested. In a third case central fat was demonstrated on CT and peristalsis of the intraluminal polypoid mass was observed during US examination. In a...

Zusammenfassung:Three cases of isolated inverted Meckel's diverticulum are described. In two cases an initial pathological diagnosis of small bowel lipoma was suggested.

In all three cases small bowel enema examination demonstrated the lesion. Correlation of the clinical, radiological and pathological features is emphasised, as this will allow the correct diagnosis.
