“…When the disease occurs at the level of the interlobular ducts, it results in congenital hepatic fibrosis. Caroli syndrome results from the combination of these two conditions ( 7 , 8 ) . It can also be accompanied by kidney abnormalities, such as medullary sponge kidney and autosomal (dominant or recessive) polycystic kidney disease ( 8 ) .…”

“…It can also be accompanied by kidney abnormalities, such as medullary sponge kidney and autosomal (dominant or recessive) polycystic kidney disease ( 8 ) . The symptoms are related to its complications, such as hepatolithiasis, cholangitis, liver abscess, and liver failure ( 7 , 8 ) .…”

“…In some cases, fusiform dilatations of extrahepatic bile ducts may also be present as a result of stones passage and recurrent cholangitis. A hallmark of the disease is the central dot sign, which corresponds to the fibrovascular bundle in the center or in the periphery of a dilated bile duct ( 7 , 8 ) , as depicted in Figure 1 . Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) can reveal signs that are very suggestive of this disease, such as those mentioned above.…”

Cholangiopathies are chronic diseases that affect the bile ducts, comprising a heterogeneous group of progressive and potentially fatal entities. The diagnosis of these diseases is a great challenge for radiologists because of the overlapping of their clinical, biochemical, and imaging findings. Nevertheless, identifying the precise etiology is crucial, given that the therapeutic options are distinct and influence the prognosis of the patient. The purpose of this review article is to discuss some of the non-neoplastic causes of cholangiopathies and to provide a useful diagnostic algorithm.

Gallbladder adenoma: report of a case with emphasis on contrast-enhanced US findings

et al. 2006

There is a marked paucity of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (US) findings of gallbladder disease in the literature, and there is only one previous case of gallbladder adenoma. We report such a case. US showed a 2-cm polypoid lesion at the gallbladder body. Color Doppler US showed the hypervascular nature of the lesion, and contrast-enhanced US revealed the lesion to be homogeneously enhanced, suggesting that the lesion was composed of the same pathology. The lesion was surgically resected, and was found to be an adenoma without cancer foci. This case suggests that contrast-enhanced US is an effective tool in diagnosing a gallbladder adenoma.
