Radiology Case Reports
|March 23, 2026
Summary
A rare mucinous cystic neoplasm of the gallbladder mimicked a multiseptated gallbladder, leading to delayed diagnosis. This case highlights the need to consider tumors in atypical gallbladder imaging, especially with biliary obstruction.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Pathology
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Mucinous cystic neoplasm of the gallbladder (MCG) is rare and often benign.
- MCG typically presents nonspecifically, leading to diagnosis post-cholecystectomy.
- Atypical imaging findings can complicate diagnosis.

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that plays a crucial role in our digestive system. Measuring about 10 cm in length, it is comparable in size to a kiwi fruit and is located in a hollow area on the lower surface of the liver. The gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a fluid produced by the liver that aids in digestion.
The gallbladder's anatomy consists of three regions: the fundus, body, and neck. Extending from the neck, the cystic duct joins...

Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...
