Abstract

Adenomyomatosis is a rare affection of the gallbladder and it's infrequently reported in the Literature. Having observed eighteen cases of adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder in the last five years and considering the difficulties in making an early diagnosis of gallbladder cancer, the authors suggest the importance of cholecystectomy in this pathology.
