Mass lesions in the liver may produce localized deformity of the contour of the gallbladder. Recognition of such defects may be the initial clue to the presence of a hepatic mass lesion or may provide confirmatory evidence in patients with suspected liver disease.
Illustrative examples of localized and discrete defects of the gallbladder secondary to a variety of hepatic mass lesions are presented, including hemangioma, polycystic disease, metastatic carcinoma, primary hepatoma and simple nonparasitic cyst. The roentgenologic differential diagnosis is briefly discussed.
