A 6-year-old girl suffered from intermittent abdominal pain and bile-stained vomiting after undergoing cholecystectomy for perforated gallbladder and bile peritonitis when she was 2 years old. The interesting finding of her choledochal cyst, which was visualized 5 minutes after the injection of Tc-99m disofenin and contracted well after an egg meal, is reported. This finding is inconsistent with those of early reports, which emphasized delayed filling and stasis of radioactivity in the dilated cyst. This case, together with more recent reports in this field, suggests that nuclear images of choledochal cyst, like its clinical presentation, may be quite variable.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
