abstract = {Meckel's diverticulum is a mostly asymptomatic anatomic
anomaly of the small intestine. Frequently, ectopic mucosa
can be found within, potentially causing complications such
as hemorrhage. In $0.5\%-3.2\%$ of symptomatic patients with
Meckel's diverticula, a neoplasm is found.Here, we report an
extremely rare case of ectopic biliary adenocarcinoma
arising from the tip of an incompletely detached Meckel's
diverticulum and infiltrating the adjacent abdominal wall in
a 79-year-old patient. Moreover, we review the literature on
the seldom occurrences of adenocarcinoma in Meckel's
diverticula and potential treatment strategies.Initially
believed to be a soft tissue tumor of the abdominal wall,
biopsy results showed adenocarcinoma with CA19-9 and CK7
expression. Hence, open surgery with en bloc oncologic small
intestine resection was performed. The patient was
discharged with normal bowel passage after an unremarkable
postoperative period. Adjuvant chemotherapy was recommended;
however, to date, no standard treatment for adenocarcinoma
arising from a Meckel's diverticulum has been agreed
upon.The successful surgical resection and ongoing
disease-free survival highlight the importance of
recognizing and managing malignancies in ectopic embryonic
remnants. This case contributes valuable insight into the
diagnosis, behavior, and treatment considerations of ectopic
malignancies.This research has not received any external
funding.},
