Axial (a, b) and coronal (c) T2-weighted MRI images of an asymptomatic 59-year-old female underwent surgery for a right scapular melanoma 4 years before, with no evidence of metastatic disease at the primary staging. MRI was recommended after a US examination reporting a nonspecific gallbladder mass. The patient was in good general health, nutritional and hydration status. No palpable masses were observed at the clinical examination. MRI images showed a vegetant endoluminal hypointense mass with broad mural base and focal wall thickening. A cholecystectomy was performed and a metastasis from melanoma was histologically confirmed
