In addition to GB wall thickening on imaging, which was suspicious of malignancy, the patient had palpable supraclavicular nodes that were metabolically active on a whole-body PET scan without any metabolic activity in regional abdominal lymph nodes. In this case, metastatic involvement of supraclavicular nodes will make the tumour unresectable. Given suspicion for metastasis, USG guided supraclavicular lymph node FNAC was done. However, when FNAC was done, metabolic activity seen on PET scan in the supraclavicular was indeed due to tubercular lymphadenitis with the presence of granulomas. We previously described the association of tuberculosis in cases of GB cancer, which can influence staging and further management. Seven patients had tuberculosis in association with carcinoma gall bladder. Two patients had supraclavicular lymph nodes, two patients were detected to have TB in inter aortocaval nodes, and one had peritoneal tubercular nodules. Two patients had tuberculosis in dissected hepatoduodenal ligament lymph nodes. At least five of the seven patients would have been deemed unresectable if sampling of nodes was not done. Hence, FNAC and lymph nodes sampling need to be done when IAC or left supraclavicular nodes are involved in a case of carcinoma gallbladder in an otherwise resectable disease.5

Spleen is one of the most commonly injured organs following blunt abdominal trauma.1 Spontaneous splenic rupture (SSR) usually occurs in a previously diseased spleen, and non-traumatic rupture of the normal spleen is extremely rare.1 The stress of cough and vomiting, leading to the traumatic rupture of the spleen, is very rare.2 We are reporting a traumatic splenic rupture following vomiting, which was subjected to exploratory laparotomy and splenectomy.

Tropical Gastroenterology 158 suggest the diagnosis of SSR. Focused assessment sonography in trauma (FAST) using ultrasound is used frequently in an emergency for trauma patients to see the presence of fluid in the peritoneal cavity. FAST is regarded as the best non-invasive radiological modality for assessing the peritoneal cavity in unstable patients. It is an operator-dependent modality and cannot identify the source of bleed and type of fluid in the peritoneal cavity.3 CT scan is the gold standard to diagnose the source of bleed as well as the extent of injury to the organ and other associated injuries.6

A 56-year-old female presented with complaints of recurrent episodes of pain abdomen for nine years. The pain was mild to moderate in intensity in the right hypochondrium. The patient was evaluated with a USG abdomen and was diagnosed to have gall stones. The patient denied surgical treatment and was taking over the counter analgesics for pain. The patient had an increase in severity and frequency of pain episodes for two years requiring iv analgesics and hospitalization. The pain was associated with episodes of fever and vomiting. One year ago, she developed a swelling over the anterior abdominal wall in the right upper quadrant associated with pain and fever.
