Abstract
The authors present a case of a Meckel's diverticulum identified durin g a routine prenatal ultrasound examination as a complex mass, superio r and posterior to the urinary bladder, that prompted meticulous postn atal evaluation. A 4.0-cm Meckel's diverticulum containing heterotopic gastric mucosa was excised before complications could arise. Meckel's diverticulum should be included in the differential of a complex intr aabdominal mass of the fetus/neonate.
