Case Discussion
Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder is a hyperplastic cholecystosis of the gallbladder wall and a common and benign cause of diffuse or focal gallbladder wall thickening.
Three morphological types of adenomyomatosis are described:
- fundal (localized) - this case
- segmental (annular)
- generalized (diffuse)
