It’s hidden and asymptomatic but later may appear as dimpling on the skin or could be discovered by x-ray.

Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT)

A boy, aged 4 1/2 years, was admitted to the hospital, He had been well until five days prior to admission, when at his normal habit time in the evening he had had a bowel movement which contained a considerable amount of bright red blood. On the following evening he had a large black tarry stool and two days later had several tarry stools. There had been no pain or other associated symptoms. The parents had noted his increasing pallor after the appearance of the tarry stools.
Physical examination revealed a well developed boy of years with pronounced pallor. The remainder of the physical examination was essentially normal. There were no petechial spots. Examination of the abdomen revealed no tenderness or rigidity, and digital rectal examination was negative. Special blood studies showed a decided sec- ondary anemia with 1,990,000 red blood cells and 33 per cent hemoglobin. The white blood count was 9450, and the differential count was normal. The icteric index, platelet count, bleeding, and clotting times were normal. Proctoscopic examination for 12 cm. revealed normal findings. However, the stool coming from above was tarry black.

The patient was given six small whole-blood transfusions of 125 to 200 cc. each. On the fourth hospital day a laparotomy was performed, and a Meckel's diverticulum was found 3 feet above the ileocecal valve. The diverticulum measured 3 inches in length and contained a fresh globular blood clot about 1.5 cm. in diameter. On micro- scopic section gastric mucosa was noted in the tip, and a small ulcer was identified at the border of the gastric and intestinal mucosa. The patient was discharged on the seventh postoperative day.
