Title: Sonography and computed tomography in the diagnosis of carcinoma of the gallbladder

Journal Article · · Am. J. Roentgenol.; (United States)

The computed tomographic and sonographic findings of 26 patients with gallbladder carcinoma were reviewed, and the problems and pitfalls encountered with these imaging techniques are discussed. The most common finding, a mass filling or replacing the gallbladder, was seen in 42% of the patients. A mass protruding into the gallbladder was seen in 23%, and diffuse asymmetric thickening of the gallblader wall in 15%. Recommendations are made to avoid some of the diagnostic problems encountered.
