a. Findings on computed tomography.. Computed tomography showed a tense gallbladder with a heterogeneous, high-density area (arrows).. b. Findings on contrast-enhanced computed tomography in the arterial phase.. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed increased pericholecystic attenuation in the arterial phase (arrows), which suggests acute cholecystitis.

Computed tomography (CT) revealed a tense gallbladder with a heterogeneous, high-density area (Fig. 1a) with no evidence of pleurisy or aortic dissection. Contrast-enhanced CT showed no obvious contrast extravasation in the gallbladder or obvious mass lesions. Increased pericholecystic attenuation on arterial-phase CT was confirmed, which indicated the possibility of acute cholecystitis (Fig. 1b).
Operative findings.. Operative findings did not reveal any evidence of malignancy in the gallbladder serosa.

Congestive findings were noted from the body to the fundus of the gallbladder (Fig. 2).
Macroscopic findings of the specimen.. A papillary, infiltrating-type lesion measuring 25 x 17 mm was observed in the body of the gallbladder.

Examination of the resected specimen revealed a blood clot-filled gallbladder lumen and a gallbladder body with a papillary, infiltrating-type lesion measuring 25 x 17 mm (Fig. 3).
