  • 1. Inha University Hospital, Incheon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

A ciliated foregut cyst arising from the gall bladder is very rare with only a few reports to date. In our case, an ultrasonogram (US) showed a well-demarcated hypoechoic mass containing internal hyperechoic material in the fundus of the gallbladder. The CT scans showed a poorly enhancing round soft tissue mass in the gallbladder wall lined by an enhancing intact mucosal layer. We report here on a very rare form of the ciliated foregut cyst arising from the gall bladder including ultrasound and CT image results
