Unusual presentation of carcinoid tumor as acute cholecystitis

C R Saxton. South Med J. 1983 Jul.

Abstract

The patient described had signs, symptoms, and laboratory data consistent with acute cholecystitis. A sonogram also suggested cholecystitis, and the gallbladder was not displayed by nuclear imaging. Cholecystectomy revealed the absence of stones but showed carcinoid tumor metastatic to the gallbladder.
