title: Possible vicarious contrast excretion causing symptomatic cholelithiasis.
abstract: A case report of a unique malleable, rubbery, white mass found at cholecystectomy after a diagnosis of symptomatic cholelithiasis. This likely represents either a unique form of a calcium-containing or contrast-containing stone. There are no reported incidents of vicarious contrast stones and calcium-containing stones are reported to be crystalline and hard.
