Abstract: The mucus thread sign is a rare and intriguing radiological feature, typically associated with mucin-producing pancreatic cysts like mucinous cystic neoplasms and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. This case study highlights its occurrence in mucin-producing gall bladder cancer, an exceptionally rare phenomenon. The report underscores its diagnostic significance, clinical implications, and potential role in guiding the management of mucinous tumors.
