Detection of Rare Gallbladder Microperforation by 18F-FDG PET/CT in a Patient with Maxillary Sinus Cancer.

Gallbladder perforation is one of the most serious complications of cholecystitis and is rarely seen in 2-11% of cases. Pericholecystic abscesses secondary to gallbladder perforation are rare. Rapid diagnosis is important because of high morbidity and mortalityrates. A subcapsular abscess secondary to gallbladder microperforation is presented on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography performed for restaging in a patient with maxillary sinus cancer.
