Core Tip	This case report describes the pre-operative diagnosis of Meckel’s-diverticulum-associated adenocarcinoma identified by technetium-99m pertechnetate scanning and double-balloon enteroscopy. The patient underwent laparoscopic radical small-bowel resection (R0, 19 Lymph nodes), based on the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Despite these high-risk features, 36 months of disease-free survival was achieved, highlighting a potential new diagnostic and therapeutic approach for this rare malignancy.
