Meckel’s diverticulum is a common pathology in children and rare in adults. We present a case of a 79-year-old patient in which a significant gastrointestinal bleeding, whose paraclinical explorations confirmed a fatty tumor of the terminal ileum. The exploratory coelioscopy revealed a tumor of the Meckel diverticulum complicated of intestinal invagination, resected at the same time with resection and extracorporeal anastomosis by mini coelio-guided laparotomy. Histology confirmed the presence of heterotopical tissue of the duodenal mucosa with Brunner cells and a carcinoid tumor. In conclusion, this clinical case shows that coelioscopy can be considered a very important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in this pathology especially in the elderly.
