| Popis: |
Radiation induced cholecystitis is a known but rare complication of Yttrium90 (Y90) radioembolization of hepatic tumors due to nontarget embolization. Many documented cases of radiation induced cholecystitis have been treated with cholecystectomy, which is significant given the typical patient population undergoing radioembolization tends to be of higher surgical risk. Here, we present a case of a 68 year old male who developed radiation induced cholecystitis status post hepatic radioembolization that resolved with conservative management alone. This case highlights that radiation induced cholecystitis may be successfully and safely treated conservatively. |
