Article Abstract
We present a case of a 59-y-old woman who had undergone cholecystectomy and was subsequently found to have an abscess within the gallbladder fossa. A hepatobiliary scan using (99m)Tc-diisopropyliminodiacetic acid demonstrated the characteristic rim sign, a photopenic defect surrounded by a rim of mildly increased activity immediately adjacent to the gallbladder fossa. The rim sign was thought to be the result of reactive inflammation in the hepatic tissue adjacent to a postoperative abscess within the gallbladder fossa.

A 30-year-old male presented with a mass in the gallbladder fossa infiltrating the liver, abdominal lymph nodes, port site lesion, and peritoneal nodularity, with a prior history of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Cytology from the gallbladder fossa mass and port site intercostal lesion revealed features of adenocarcinoma. The patient was treated with six cycles of modified gemcitabine and oxaliplatin based chemotherapy, which resulted in complete metabolic response.

The study was prepared to explain the morphological features of the biliary duct system, gall bladder, duodenal papilla, extrahepatic ducts, and pancreatic ducts of the white Pekin Duck (Anas platyrhynchos) using gross, casting, ultrastructural, and histochemical techniques. The gall bladder in the liver's cystic fossa is not visible from the right lobe's parietal surface. Bile is drained from the liver via the intrahepatic bile duct, with one main duct in the left lobe branched into two secondary ducts and three hepatic ducts in the right lobe.

Concomitant perforation of the duodenum and gallbladder is exceptionally rare in the pediatric population. These conditions pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in critically ill or sedated children. We report the case of a five-year-old girl who was initially hospitalized for posterior fossa tumor resection and developed acute abdominal distension, anemia, and hematemesis in the postoperative period.

Purpose: Diagnosis of peritoneal invasion, lymph node metastasis, and hepatic metastasis is crucial in the decision-making process of ovarian tumor treatment. This study aimed to test the feasibility of low-dose abdominopelvic CT with an artificial intelligence iterative reconstruction (AIIR) for diagnosing peritoneal invasion, lymph node metastasis, and hepatic metastasis in pre-operative imaging of ovarian tumor.
Methods: This study prospectively enrolled 88 patients with pathology-confirmed ovarian tumors, where routine-dose CT at portal venous phase (120 kVp/ref.

Surgery, Baptist Health South Florida, Miami, USA.
Biliary pleural fistulas (BPFs) are pathologic connections between the biliary tree and pleural cavity, allowing for abnormal flow of bile into the pleural space. This finding is rare and typically results from surgical procedures, such as chest tube placement, or trauma. We present the case of an 84-year-old male who initially presented with respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms.
