title: [Tumefactive biliary sludge. Ultrasonic aspects].
abstract: Twenty two patients presenting a typical sonographic pattern of tumefactive biliary sludge are studied. In all cases was observed a polypoid mobile, rounded mass, without acoustic shadow. The lesion stayed in the gallbladder in 15 cases and in distended main bile duct in 3 others. There was a double localisation in 4 cases. Seven verified cases proved to be constituted of very thick biliary sludge.
