Abstract

|
|
Leiomyosarcoma of the gallbladder is a very rare subgroup for gallbladder sarcoma. Herein, we report the ultrasound, computed tomography and positron emission tomography-computed tomography imaging findings on a case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the gallbladder. Abdominal ultrasonography indicates a heterogeneous hyperechoic submucosal mass with hypervascularity and displacement of overlying mucosal layers by the mass. Computed tomography reveal that the tumor is a well-defined and heterogeneously enhancing solid mass with overlying thick mucosal layers. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography visualizes the large gallbladder mass as a hypermetabolic lesion.
