Abstract
Duplication of the gallbladder represents a variant of anomalous biliary anatomy that is rarely encountered on hepatobiliary scintigraphy. We describe the case of 76-year-old man with a gallbladder fold mimicking duplication of the gallbladder or an associated choledochal cyst on scintigraphy. Correlative imaging with CT and ultrasound helped elucidate the true anatomy. This case demonstrates the type of difficult scintigraphic patterns that can arise with variant anatomy and the necessary role of cross-sectional, anatomic imaging in unraveling such situations.
