Phrygian Cap Gallbladder: At a Glance
The Phrygian cap gallbladder is a congenital abnormality found in 4% of the population. This gallbladder variation can appear as a liver mass during imaging, potentially leading to misinterpretation. Despite its unusual appearance, it’s not considered pathological and typically doesn’t manifest any symptoms. The gallbladder, a pear-shaped organ located beneath the liver, can have various anomalies, with the Phrygian cap being the most common. It’s important to note that surgical intervention is unnecessary unless it results in symptoms like biliary colic or cholecystitis.
