An abdominal CT scan revealed a clearly demarcated solid tumor in hypogastric region, measuring 65 x 45 mm. A laparotomy through lower midline incision was performed. A surgical resection of a lesion of a Meckel's diverticulum was carried out and a final diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor was made.The patient made an uneventful recovery.
