title: Segmental adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder. A radiologic, sonographic, and pathologic correlation.
abstract: Adenomyomatosis is a hyperplastic condition that is occasionally symptomatic. The segmental form of adenomyomatosis can result in marked wall thickening in the waist of the gallbladder, giving a characteristic "hourglass" deformity in both the oral cholecystogram and the ultrasound examination.
