A 54-year-old woman underwent octreotide scintigraphy for evaluation of neuroendocrine tumor recurrence. The images demonstrated unusual uptake in gallbladder area in addition to physiologic uptake at other tissues. Whole-body planar and SPECT imaging were repeated after fatty meal ingestion at 28 hours in order to figure out whether this activity was physiologic or not. Since the unusual uptake in the gallbladder was still detected at these images, additional images were obtained 72 hours after radionuclide injection. The activity in the gallbladder disappeared at these images revealing the physiologic nature of this unusual accumulation.
