Tubulo-villous adenoma is a rare benign appendiceal neoplasm.

Highlights
Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract.
Annular MD is an extremely rare cause of intestinal obstruction and ischemia in adults.
Preoperative diagnosis of MD is a challenge because of its rarity and the absence of specific radiological findings and symptoms.
Surgery represents the appropriate treatment of complicated MD.
