Abstract

The gallbladder (GB) is a rare site of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis. To the best of our knowledge, only a few reports of CT findings of GB metastasis exist in the literature. Herein, we report a case of histologically proven GB metastasis of RCC in a 55-year-old male who underwent CT for an intraluminal polypoid mass simulating a primary GB lesion.

담낭은 신세포암이 드물게 전이되는 장기이다. 신세포암의 담낭 전이에 대한 컴퓨터단층촬영(이하 CT) 소견의 증례 보고는 거의 없다. 저자들은 담낭의 원발성 병변처럼 보였으나 조직학적으로 신세포암의 담낭 내 전이로 확인된 55세 남성의 담낭 내 용종성 종괴의 CT 소견과 증례를 보고하고자 한다.
