jaundice and weight loss. An MRCP showed a suspicious stricture in the
mid CBD.

or nodal involvement. Cholangiogram at ERCP conrmed a short distal
CBD stricture. Brush cytology was obtained and the stricture was
stented (Fig. 4.5).

17. A 30- year- old woman was reviewed in clinic after a recent inpatient stay
with cholangitis. During her admission, an ultrasound scan showed a
dilated CBD. Subsequent ERCP did not reveal choledocholithiasis but it
did show a fusiform dilatation of the CBD. An MRCP was arranged as an
outpatient, which conrmed spindle- like dilatation along the length of
the CBD. Adiagnosis of choledochal cyst type Iwas made. The patient
was currently asymptomatic.

A. Cholecystoenterostomy
B. Expectant management and ERCP as required for episodes of cholangitis

ANSWERS
1. E. Twenty per cent chance of developing biliary colic
• Asymptomatic gallstones have a 20% chance of becoming symptomatic with biliary colic over
the next 0years
• Asymptomatic gallstones have a low (2%– 3%) risk of being complicated by pancreatitis,
cholecystitis, or biliary obstruction, and therefore cholecystectomy is not routinely
recommended
Asymptomatic gallstones are found in 0%– 20% of the global adult population and generally
do not require therapy. Patients with asymptomatic gallstones have a 20% chance of becoming
symptomatic with biliary colic over the next 0years. The onset of gallstone- associated pain
indicates a higher chance of developing complications (cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis) and
provides a rational for cholecystectomy in symptomatic patients unless surgical risk is prohibitive.
Patients with asymptomatic gallstones only have a 2%– 3% chance of developing pancreatitis,
cholecystitis, and biliary obstruction, and cholecystectomy is therefore not recommended for
patients with asymptomatic stones. Mirizzi’s syndrome is a rare complication of gallstones. It
refers to biliary obstruction with jaundice either as a direct consequence of stone impaction or
from inammation when a large stone resides in Hartmann’s pouch of the gallbladder. This causes
obstructive jaundice via pressure on the CBD and is treated with cholecystectomy.

Doi:0.038/ nrdp.206.24.
2. B. Adenomyomatosis
• ADM is a benign cause of gallbladder thickening that is commonly asymptomatic
• Histologically, it is characterized by outpouchings of the mucosa into thickened muscle wall
(Rokitansky– Ascho sinuses)
• Care must be taken to dierentiate ADM from gallbladder carcinoma, which may be aided by
use of MRCP
Gallbladder ADM is a relatively common, asymptomatic, and benign cause of diuse or focal
gallbladder wall thickening, which is commonly identied incidentally during investigation for other
pathologies. Histologically, it is characterized by epithelial proliferation and hypertrophy of the
muscles of the gallbladder wall with outpouchings of the mucosa into thickened muscular layer,
known as ‘Rokitansky– Ascho sinuses’. ADM is identied in %– 9% of cholecystectomy specimens
and is associated with gallstones in >50% of cases. While ADM is a benign condition, it must be
dierentiated from gallbladder carcinoma, which carries a very poor prognosis. Ultrasound is often
the rst- line diagnostic test with MRCP reserved for cases when an experienced radiologist cannot
