Abstract:
A female patient with mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome is presented. During the course of her illness, she developed acute abdominal pain secondary to hydrops of gallbladder. The diagnosis was facilltated by ultrasound. We managed her conventionally without surgical intervention. It is interesting that the age of patients complicated by gallbladder hydrops is high compared with the age frequency of MCLS. Related literatures are briefly reviewed.
