“…У разі наявності гетеротопної тканини, частота появи якої оцінюється в 50 %, вона може містити в собі тканину шлунка чи підшлункової залози або їхню комбінацію. Хоча Helicobacter pylori також було виявлено при МД, зв'язок між кровотечею та цією бактерією не було доведено [6,7].…”

Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly within the gastrointestinal tract, with a prevalence in the general population of 0.9–3 %. Among the malignant neoplasms associated with Meckel’s diverticulum, carcinoids and gastrointestinal stromal tumors predominate in percentage, with adenocarcinomas accounting for less than 6% of all associated malignancies. The authors present a rare case report of a 67-year-old patient with gastric-type adenocarcinoma in Meckel’s diverticulum, with metastatic foci in both lobes of the liver at the time of diagnosis. The case demonstrates diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that led to a correct diagnosis and a satisfactory treatment outcome. They emphasize the importance of using all the possibilities of diagnosis and treatment as well as the necessity of cooperation with other experts in the proper management of this disease, they express an opinion about considering prophylactic resection of intraoperatively detected Meckel’s diverticulum.

“…In most of the population, it remains asymptomatic; however, it can lead to complications in 4.0-40.0% of cases. The most common complications include enterorrhagia, diverticulitis, mechanical ileus, and in rarer cases, a tumor or a combination of etiopathogenetic factors [4][5][6][7]. The epidemiology is briefly explained by the "rule of two" taken from American literature: length of the diverticulum (two inches [2x 2.54 cm]), location (two feet from the ileocecal valve [2×30.48 cm]), prevalence (2.0% of the population), commonly occurs at age two years, two times more common in men [1][2][3].…”

Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. Its prevalence in the general population is 0.9-3.0%. Among the malignant neoplasms of MD, carcinoids and gastrointestinal stromal tumors are predominant. Adenocarcinomas account for less than 6.0% of all associated malignancies. We present a rare clinical case of a 67-year-old patient with gastric-type adenocarcinoma in MD, with metastatic foci in both lobes of the liver at diagnosis. This case demonstrates the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that led to correct diagnosis and satisfactory treatment outcomes. This case emphasized the importance of using all the possibilities in the diagnosis and treatment and the necessity of cooperation with other experts in properly managing this disease. We also expressed an opinion about considering prophylactic resection of an intraoperatively discovered MD.

“…Those findings, which cannot be unambiguously explained in terms of embryonic development, are always the most remarkable. A perfect example is the occurrence of acid-secreting gastric mucosa, pancreatic tissue or large intestinal tissue within the Meckel's diverticulum of the small intestine, usually near the ileocecal valve [1,2]. Although this finding is relatively common, it still belongs in this category of "enigmatic" ectopically localized tissue.…”

Ectopic lamellar Pacinian corpuscle within the thymus. Atypical or abnormal location?

Lamellar (Pacinian) corpuscle is a cutaneous encapsulated sensory corpuscle, mainly functioning as a rapidly adapting low-threshold mechanoreceptor with characteristic "onion skin"-like appearance. Even though the Pacinian corpuscle is typically located in the skin, histomorphologically and confirmed by using immunohistochemical methods, we have identified it within the interstitium of the thymus of a newborn with congenital heart defect. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such account ever to be published. The structure of the thymic Pacinian corpuscle was the same as the Pacinian corpuscle in the skin. The ectopic thymic Pacinian corpuscle can be hypothetically explained as the consequence of impaired migration of neural crest cells, since neural crest-derived cells play an important role in the development of the Pacinian corpuscle, as well as the thymus and heart. In general, the occurrence of ectopic Pacinian corpuscle in different organs is rare. In the scientific literature, there are reports of its sporadic presence in the pancreas, in the lymph nodes, inside the prostate and the urinary bladder wall. Our report presents the first described case of the Pacinian corpuscle in a heterotopic location in the thymus. Similar to other incidental findings of this anatomic structure, explanation of its ectopic development, as well as its local function remains only speculative.
