A history of two cesarean sections was revealed. The patient underwent an ultrasound and Computed Tomography with intravenous contrast media revealing the presence of gallbladder and abdominal wall hyperenhancing masses. Finally, Magnetic Resonance study with intravenous administration of paramagnetic contrast media confirmed the involvement of gallbladder by a solid tissue and the presence of a solid nodule on the abdominal wall.
