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.
