Mucin-producing carcinoma of the gallbladder: evaluation by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in three cases.
[carcinoma of the gallbladder]
We
report
three
cases
of
mucin-producing
carcinoma
of
the
gallbladder
,
along
with
the
magnetic
resonance
(
MR
)
findings
,
especially
the
findings
on
a
MR
cholangiopancreatography
.
In
our
cases
,
linear
or
curvilinear
streaks
were
detected
running
along
the
long
axis
of
an
enlarged
gallbladder
(
mucus
thread
sign
)
.
When
such
findings
were
seen
,
a
mucin-producing
carcinoma
of
the
gallbladder
should
be
included
as
a
differential
diagnosis
.
Thus
,
gadolinium-enhanced
MR
imaging
is
mandatory
for
the
precise
diagnosis
of
the
mucin-producing
carcinoma
of
the
gallbladder
.
