Abstract

Yahya M. Berkmen, MD Benjamin A. Zalta, MD History A 63-year-old man was admitted with a history of gradually increasing abdominal pain of 3 days duration. At admission, the pain was mostly localized to the right upper quadrant. The patient had a slightly elevated white blood cell count (10 10/L). The clinical impression of acute cholecystitis was confirmed with ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT). Several gallstones were also depicted, and cholecystectomy was performed. Chest CT studies were obtained postoperatively to evaluate an abnormality seen on the admission chest radiograph.
