  • Title: Phrygian cap simulating mass lesion in hepatobiliary scintigraphy.
    Author: Smergel EM, Maurer AH.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1984 Mar; 9(3):131-3. PubMed ID: 6538468.
    Abstract:
    Hepatobiliary imaging has been used to demonstrate that defects in the region of the gallbladder fossa in sulfur colloid studies correspond to normal gallbladder and not tumor. We report a case of delayed filling of a portion of the gallbladder due to a Phrygian cap anomaly. The case demonstrates that without delayed images incomplete filling of the gallbladder can be confused with a mass lesion in the liver.
