Abstract

We herein present a case of carcinosarcoma gallbladder with osteosarcomatous differentiation in a middle-aged woman. This is seen on 18F-FDG PET/CT study as an intensely FDG-avid mass in the gallbladder with foci of calcification due to the presence of osteoid. This is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis.
