Objectives: Adenomyomatosis (ADM) of the gallbladder is a benign condition, which is characterized by mucosal hyperplasia of the gallbladder and formation of intramucosal invagination through the thickened mucosal layer. The pathogenesis is unclear. This condition is rare in children. The aim of this publication is to present the case of a teenager with ADM of the gallbladder and review the pediatric literature on this topic.
Methods: A 17-year-old female presented with severe postprandial right upper quadrant abdominal pains. The abdominal ultrasound revealed ADM of the gallbladder.
Results: A curative laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. Since 1998, eleven of the 13 pediatrics cases reported with ADM of the gallbladder were symptomatic and a cholecystectomy was curative in all of them.
Conclusion: ADM of the gallbladder should be considered in the differential diagnosis of recurrent right abdominal upper quadrant pains in pediatrics. Abdominal ultrasound is the best diagnostic procedure. In symptomatic patients, a cholecystectomy is curative.

Introduction: The coexistence of gallbladder (LSG) and adenomyomatosis (ADM) is extremely uncommon presenting a novel clinical dilemma that has not been previously documented. LSG refers to a anomaly where the gallbladder is situated to the left of the round ligament deviating from its usual position. This anomaly is rare, with reported occurrences ranging between 0.

Adenomyomatosis (ADM) of the gallbladder is a condition characterized by the proliferation of Rokitansky-Aschoff sinus (RAS), in which the epithelium of the gallbladder extends into the muscular layer, causing a thickening of the gallbladder wall. Although ADM is generally considered not to be a precancerous lesion of gallbladder cancer, there are some reports of cases of gallbladder cancer from ADM. Therefore, the relationship between ADM and gallbladder cancer remains controversial.

Article Synopsis
- The video demonstrates a method to straighten a guidewire that has become looped in the gallbladder due to segmental adenomyomatosis.
- This technique involves using a balloon catheter to assist in repositioning the guidewire during the procedure.
- The procedure is specifically aimed at placing a stent in the gallbladder through an endoscopic transpapillary approach.
