Cholecystitis glandularis proliferans

Hyperplastic Lesions and Metaplastic Changes of the Gallbladder

“…It seems that most of the cases previously described as cholecystitis cystica in fact represent adenomyomatosis.

Suture-line ulcer after gastric surgery caused by non-absorbable suture materials

“…Jutras (1960)~ on the other hand, claimed that 88 per cent of a large series of adenomyomatosis patients were benefited dramatically by cholecystectomy. Le Quesne and Ranger (1957) stated that the results are as good as when the operation is performed for stone. In this series there are two dramatic cures in patients with severe symptoms of typical biliary type, two satisfactory results in patients with vague but suggestive pain, and the fifth patient was symptomless anyway.…”

Right Upper Quadrant Pain and No Gallstones: A Clinical Problem

“…The discrepancy may be due to false negative investigations -for instance a normal cholecystogram may be seen when a stone is present in the cystic duct [2] or the diagnosis may be ABP. ABP may be due to narrow cystic duct [3,4] or inflammation within the gall-bladder without stones [5][6][7][8], and the symptoms are indistinguishable from biliary pain in the presence of stones [8,9], Many studies have been carried out in patients with this syndrome [5][6][7][8], but these series have been largely retrospective and contained patients in whom there may have been either an error in investigation or a fail ure to recognise associated conditions re sponsible for the symptoms [10].…”
