John is a 52-year old man who suffered from intermittent low grade right upper abdominal pain, initially thought to be related to acid reflux. As John’s pain worsened, his primary care physician encouraged him to undergo a CT scan (computed tomography, or “CAT scan”) , which showed irregular gallbladder wall thickening suspected to be due to gallbladder cancer. The CT scan also showed gallbladder stones associated with inflammation (cholecystitis), air in the gallbladder and bile ducts, and a few enlarged lymph nodes in the upper abdomen of uncertain etiology.
