Abstract

There are various diseases of the gallbladder and cystic duct, and imaging diagnosis is challenging for the rare among them. However, some rare diseases show characteristic imaging findings or patient history; therefore, familiarity with the imaging presentation of rare diseases may improve diagnostic accuracy and patient management. The purpose of this article is to describe the imaging findings of rare diseases of the gallbladder and cystic duct and identify their pathological correlations with these diseases.
