Abstract
Adenomatous hyperplasia of the gallbladder is an uncommon condition, particularly in men. A literature search yields minimal information on this entity, thus suggesting the infrequency of its occurrence. Adenomyomatosis is an entity that closely resembles adenomatous hyperplasia but has hypertrophy of the muscular layer and extensive Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses. We report the finding of adenomatous hyperplasia in a middle-aged male in the setting of symptomatic cholelithiasis.
