    This case study highlights variable cholescintigram results in acalculous cholecystitis, emphasizing diagnostic challenges. Understanding these fluctuations is crucial for accurate patient management.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Imaging
    • Diagnostic Radiology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Acalculous cholecystitis presents a diagnostic challenge, often lacking clear indicators.
    • Cholescintigraphy (HIDA scan) is a key imaging modality for evaluating gallbladder function.

    Observation:

    • A 62-year-old male patient with acalculous cholecystitis exhibited fluctuating cholescintigram results.
    • The hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan showed abnormal findings initially, which later normalized during the disease course.

    Findings:

    • The study demonstrates that cholescintigraphy can display significant variability during acalculous cholecystitis.
    • These dynamic changes can complicate the interpretation of HIDA scans for diagnosing gallbladder disease.

    Implications:

    • Recognizing the potential for normal and abnormal cholescintigram findings is vital for accurate diagnosis.
    • This variability underscores the need for careful clinical correlation and potentially repeat imaging in suspected cases of acalculous cholecystitis.
