Abstract
A case of a large polypoidal gallbladder carcinoma presenting with emp yema is described, Heterogeneous echoes filled the gallbladder lumen o n gray-scale sonography. Color Doppler ultrasound detected vascularity within the gallbladder lumen, thereby differentiating the intralumina l tumor from isoechoic sludge and pus. Correlative computed tomography showed an enhancing intraluminal mass, with small enhancing vessels t hat corresponded to those seen with color Doppler sonography.
