Abstract

The magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features are described in a case of gallbladder carcinoma presenting as a fungating mass associated with gallstones as well as biliary obstruction due to pancreaticoduodenal lymph node metastasis. The MR findings complemented diagnostic observations made on preoperative sonography and computed tomography of the abdomen.
