title: [Cholesterosis of the gallbladder].
abstract: Altogether 238 gall bladders from the necropsy cases and 260 those removed surgically were examined morphologically. Various forms of cholesterosis were found in 5 cases from the first group and in 12 cases from the second. The gall bladder mucous membrane was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Low incidence of this disease is noted in the Central Asia. The mucous membrane surface in health and cholesterosis is described. The conclusion is drawn about the link of the cholesterosis incidence with the traditional nutrition in this area.
