Phrygian cap simulating mass lesion in hepatobiliary scintigraphy.

E M Smergel, A H Maurer

    Clinical Nuclear Medicine
    |March 1, 1984

    Summary

    Hepatobiliary imaging can misdiagnose gallbladder anomalies as liver tumors. Delayed imaging is crucial for correctly identifying Phrygian cap anomalies, preventing misdiagnosis of liver masses.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Hepatobiliary Imaging
    • Nuclear Medicine

    Background:

    • Hepatobiliary imaging, specifically sulfur colloid studies, is utilized to evaluate liver and gallbladder abnormalities.
    • Defects in the gallbladder fossa on these scans are typically indicative of a normal gallbladder, not a tumor.

    Observation:

    • A case presented with delayed filling in a portion of the gallbladder.
    • This delayed filling was attributed to a Phrygian cap anomaly, a congenital fold in the gallbladder.

    Findings:

    • Incomplete gallbladder filling on early images can mimic a liver mass lesion.
    • Delayed imaging is essential to confirm normal gallbladder filling and rule out pathology.

    Implications:

    • Phrygian cap anomalies can lead to misinterpretation in hepatobiliary imaging if delayed views are not obtained.
    • Accurate diagnosis requires careful consideration of gallbladder morphology and appropriate imaging protocols, including delayed imaging.
