Background: Special attention should be given to intra-abdominal adhesions in patients with a history of open cholecystectomy for gallstones or abdominal surgery. Choosing the appropriate surgical approach to remove the stones is crucial.
Patient Summary: A 68-year-old male was admitted due to sudden onset of upper abdominal pain lasting more than 6 h.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are known to be major antigen-presenting cells, and lymph nodes (LNs) play an important role in DC-mediated immune response. CD1a is known as a marker of monocyte-derived DCs. The present study focused on the infiltration of CD1a-positive DCs (CD1a-DCs) into regional LNs in 70 cases of gallbladder cancer (GBC).

We present a rare case of physiological uptake of [ Lu]Lu-DOTATATE in the gallbladder, observed post-therapy, in a 47-year-old man with grade I duodenal neuroendocrine tumor (NET), despite no uptake being observed pre-therapy in the somatostatin receptor-positron emission tomography. On planar scintigraphy, the gallbladder uptake could have been misidentified as liver metastasis. By utilizing single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography imaging, we were able to precisely localize the tracer and obtain anatomical morphological characteristics, thereby averting the potential for misinterpretation of liver metastasis resulting from the gallbladder's physiological uptake of [ Lu]Lu-DOTATATE in NET patients.

The occurrence of cutaneous metastasis from internal malignancies is relatively rare. Furthermore, cutaneous metastasis from gallbladder carcinoma is an infrequent phenomenon, with only a few reported cases. Here, we report a case of a 45-year-old male with cutaneous metastasis from primary gallbladder carcinoma, initially presenting solely with a scrotal lesion.
