Bleeding Meckel's diverticulum tends to be a complication of ectopic pastric mucosa. It has been known that the gastric acid and digestive fluid produced from the ectopic gastric mucosa canse peptic ulcer, which leads to bleeding. When the ectopic gastric mucose is entirely formed by the pyloric gland, how ever, ulcer formation may result from factors other than gastric acid and digestive fluid. This is a report of an adult case of bleeding Meckel's diverticulum with actopic gastric mucosa in whom mechanical stimulation was auggeeted as a canse of the erosion and alceration, resulting in bleeding.
