“…The association between gallbladder adenomyomatosis and gallstones ranges from 36% to 95% (9). Chronic inflammation of the gallbladder may cause gallbladder adenomyomatosis (6,8). The histopathologic findings of our patient included chronic inflammation but not gallstones.…”

“…The disease was previously termed cholecystitis glandularis proliferans, cystic cholecystitis, adenomyoma, adenomyofibroma, intramural diverticulosis or diverticular disease of the gallbladder. It is more frequently seen in women, and the majority of patients have been reported to be in their fifth and sixth decades of life (6). Only a few cases of adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder in young patients have been reported (7).…”

“…Most patients with adenomyomatosis remain asymptomatic, and the di- agnosis is usually an incidental finding, either on US performed for the detection of gallstones, or on histological examination of surgical gallbladder specimens. The most common presentation of gallbladder adenomyomatosis is right upper quadrant pain, which is similar to gallstone pain, with or without cholecystitis (6). It is possible that the pain is secondary to gallstones or inflammation.…”

“…Neurogenic dysfunction of the gallbladder may create increased intracystic pressure that is thought to be responsible for the formation of Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses (6). The association between gallbladder adenomyomatosis and gallstones ranges from 36% to 95% (9).…”

Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder resembling honeycomb in a child

Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder is believed to be an uncommon pathologic condition of the gallbladder in childhood. Only three pediatric cases have been described in the literature up to now. Honeycomb gallbladder has been described in two adult patients; no patients have been reported in childhood until now. To the best of our knowledge, we report here the first case of adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder which resembled honeycomb, in a 9-year-old girl presented with recurrent abdominal pain. The diagnosis was made by ultrasound, and confirmed by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and finally cholecystectomy. In conclusion, ultrasound scanning performed more generally in children presenting with recurrent abdominal pain might lead to accurate diagnosis of adenomyomotosis of the gallbladder during childhood.

Specimens from 3197 consecutive and unselected cholecystectomies performed during a 6‐year period were studied. Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder was defined as a lesion characterized by a thickened wall that consisted of Rokitansky‐Aschoff sinuses surrounded by proliferated fibromuscular tissue. Adenomyomatosis was found in 279 specimens and classified as one of three types: segmental, fundal, or diffuse. Segmental adenomyomatosis was found in 188 specimens; gallbladder cancer (GBC) developed in 12 (6.4%) of the patients with segmental type adenomyomatosis. GBC developed in the mucosa of the fundal compartment distal to the annular stricture of the segmental type adenomyomatosis in all 12 of these patients. Conversely, GBC developed in 93 (3.1%) of the other 3009 patients (those with fundal alone, diffuse, or no adenomyomatosis). The prevalence of GBC in patients with segmental adenomyomatosis was significantly (P < 0.025) higher than that of patients without segmental adenomyomatosis. Clinicians should be aware that segmental adenomyomatosis often coexists with GBC.
