As bariatric surgeries (BS) increase, more incidental findings are liable to be discovered. Incidental gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) during BS can be found in around 0.7% of the cases. In this article, we have performed a systematic review of the literature and added our data to those of the review to review a conceptual treatment strategy to both improve patient outcomes and decrease the risk of overall cancer. With the rise of new bariatric techniques, we have proposed a new classification to BS to enhance our description of the treatment strategy. Graphical Abstract

“…The omphalomesenteric duct's pluripotent cells may create propitious conditions for malignancy, and the presence of heterotrophic tissue could represent a sign of improper molecular signaling, thereby increasing the risk for neoplastic development. 35 Furthermore, gain‐of‐function mutations in the KIT gene have been associated with the occurrence of GIST in MD. 35 …”

Key Clinical MessagePerforation of Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is rare, particularly by foreign body. High index of suspicion and thorough intraoperative assessment is needed in patients undergoing surgery for acute appendicitis, specifically when appendix appears normal.AbstractMeckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. While often asymptomatic, it can present with several complications. Perforation due to foreign body ingestion is rare but can have severe consequences if late diagnosis occurs. A 13‐year‐old male, initially suspected of acute appendicitis, was eventually diagnosed with perforation of MD by a wood splinter‐like foreign body after intraoperative assessment. Histological analysis revealed ectopic colonic tissue within the MD, a finding whose implications are not well understood, in contrast with the well‐established complications associated with ectopic gastric and pancreatic tissues. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of MD, which can mimic acute appendicitis, emphasizing the need for high suspicion when faced with atypical clinical presentation such as foreign body‐induced perforation. Although surgical resection of asymptomatic MD remains controversial, we recommend a case‐specific approach based on risk factors to guide decision‐making on surgical resection for asymptomatic MD.
