Imaging, Yoqneam, Israel) demonstrated the presence of a solitary diverticulum in the distal half of the ileum, a finding suggestive of Meckel's diverticulum. Images can be found in Figure 1.
Abdominal scintigraphy with 99 m Tc pertechnetate (Meckel scan) showed abnormal accumulation of the radioisotope indicating the presence of ectopic gastric mucosa. The black arrows point to the areas of abnormal accumulation.

(c) HeEo (x100): margin between intestinal (upper half) and gastric mucosa (lower half). (d) HeEo (x200): some of the parietal cells in the gastric mucosa (arrows), with a deeply eosinophilic cytoplasm as opposed to the mucinous and chief cells.
