Intestinal ischemia due to vascular elastosis caused by metastasizing carcinoid tumor of Meckel's diverticulum. 1985

D H Palvio, and E S Kristensen, and E Falk

A case of a carcinoid tumor arising in a Meckel's diverticulum is reported. By the time of detection, the tumor had spread to the mesentery causing ischemia of the small intestine due to the associated vascular elastosis.

D002276 Carcinoid Tumor A usually small, slow-growing neoplasm composed of islands of rounded, oxyphilic, or spindle-shaped cells of medium size, with moderately small vesicular nuclei, and covered by intact mucosa with a yellow cut surface.

It is now established that these tumors are of neuroendocrine origin and derive from a primitive stem cell.
