View larger version (36K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 1. Porcelain Gallbladder. The entire wall of the gallbladder is calcified in an 86-year-old woman with anemia probably caused by a slowly bleeding hiatal hernia. The patient had no abdominal symptoms. The border of the gallbladder is evident on a plain film of the abdomen (Panel A, arrows). The calcified rim can be seen on a computed tomographic scan without contrast enhancement (Panel B, arrow). Gallstones are not present.
