[Diverticulosis of the gallbladder. A case report and review of the literature].

We report a case of diffuse diverticulosis of the gallbladder in a 32 year old patient, who presents epigastric pains and decayed general conditions. With the suspicion of a primitive tumor of the gallbladder, we make a cholecystectomy and the intraoperative histological examination shows a "diffuse diverticulosis of the gallbladder wall"; it displays micro-stones inside diverticulums, too. The patient, after the surgical treatment, has no problem and he gets back to his normal weight.

Advances in interventional radiology in oncology.

Interventional radiology (IR) includes all procedures performed percutaneously under US, fluoroscopy, CT or DSA guidance by a radiologist to obtain diagnostic and therapeutic achievements. According to the pathology under examination, these procedures may be applied alone, as a definite therapeutic tool, or together with other traditional techniques permitting an easier and more successful application. In this report the authors discuss briefly the IR possibilities in many oncological branches.
