  • Title: Gallbladder carcinoma. Another cause of the distended photon-deficient gallbladder in cholescintigraphy.
    Author: Velchik MG, Makler PT, Alavi A.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1984 Mar; 9(3):137-8. PubMed ID: 6538469.
    Abstract:
    A case report of an 82-year-old woman with carcinoma of the gallbladder is presented. Technetium-99m DISIDA cholescintigraphy demonstrated nonvisualization of the gallbladder, with a large photon-deficient region corresponding to the gallbladder fossa, with medial displacement of the common bile duct. Carcinoma of the gallbladder has not been previously described as a cause of this scintigraphic pattern.
