ResumoSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a well recognized cause of an acute abdomen. What is less well recognized is that the underlying pathology can be varied. The computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound appearances of the gall-bladder in a case of SLE serositis are shown. The imaging findings were strongly suggestive of primary gall-bladder disease although at laparotomy the gall-bladder showed serosal inflammation only.
