Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder with subserosal fatty proliferation: CT findings in two cases.
Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder is frequently seen in ordinary operative specimens. Subserosal fat may proliferate in the presence of adenomyomatosis, but the amount of subserosal fat may be quite variable. Typical and atypical computed tomographic (CT) findings in two cases of adenomyomatosis with subserosal fatty proliferation of the gallbladder are presented. The thick fatty layer surrounding the thickened gallbladder wall with intramural diverticula and stones, typical of CT findings, was seen in one case, and fat interspersed in the periphery of the thickened gallbladder wall without intramural stones, atypical of CT findings, was seen in a second case.
