Abstract:
Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder is Characterized by hyperplastic changes including overgrowth of the mucosa, thickening of the muscle wall, and intramural diverticula, crypts, or sinus tracts(Rokitaasky-Aschoff sinuses). The main diagnostic test for the detection of this disease is oral cholecystography but it's use is being decreased. Recently, Ultrasound, ERCP, and CT have been used for diagnosis. We present a report of case in whom ademomyomatosis of gallbladder was disgnosed on ultrasound and ERCP and confirmed by surgery. The essential feactures of ultrasound and ERCP diagnosis are discussed.
