Özet
This case report describes an extremely rare complication of a Meckel's diverticulum: enterocutaneous fistula of the diverticulum. The presence of Meckel's diverticulum is a well known entity, but subcutaneous perforation of the diverticulum is very rare. Here we report the case of a patient with the complaint of a right lower quadrant abscess, preoperatively diagnosed as enterocutaneous fistula, which was determined intraoperatively to be a fistula resulting from Meckel's diverticulum. © 2009 The WJG Press and Baishideng.
