[Intramural diverticulosis of the gallbladder].

The authors report on 9 cases of acalculous adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder, selected to Arianoff's classification. The clinical, anatomopathological and radiological data are considered: there isn't difference concerning the clinical symptoms between adenomyomatosis and cholelithiasis; only radiological study may clarify the nature and character of these lesions. The authors conclude stressing the importance of surgical therapy because the medical therapy is only symptomatic and does not modify the natural evolution of the disease and its complications.
