title: [Cholecystosis].
abstract: Cholecystosis conditions include those diseases of the gallbladder whose aetiopathogenesis is to be sought in a hyperplasia of the tissues making up the cholecystic wall (hyperplastic forms) and in an overload of this wall on the part of organic substances or minerals such as lipides or calcium salts (thesaurismosic forms). After discussing the classification, pathological anatomy, aetiopathogenesis, frequency, symptomatology, laboratory and radiological examinations, prognosis complications and treatment of these conditions, a personal series of 36 surgically treated cholecystoses is reported.
