摘要：
A 72-year-old woman was examined by 18F-FDG PET/CT, showing pathologic tracer uptake in the gallbladder. PET/CT also depicted condition of situs inversus totalis, with dextrocardia, liver on the left side and spleen on the right side of the body. These findings were essential to plan and develop laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which diagnosed cholangiocarcinoma. The recognition of anatomical variants and abnormalities by means of hybrid PET/CT imaging is essential in order to plan the best therapeutic approach. © 2018 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
