Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Gallbladder hydatid cysts are rare, posing diagnostic challenges.
  • Abdominal pain and distension can indicate serious hepatobiliary pathology.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old male presented with fever, vomiting, and right upper quadrant pain.
  • Ultrasound showed a mixed echogenicity lesion; CT revealed gallbladder mass and liver hypoplasia.
  • MRI demonstrated characteristic signal intensities of a cystic mass with solid components.

Findings:

  • Exploratory laparotomy confirmed an inflamed hydatid cyst of the gallbladder.
  • Imaging findings were consistent with the final pathological diagnosis.

Implications:
