    Abstract:
    In the last 5 years 16 patients with cholecystosis were observed. In this period the most recent diagnostic and therapeutic techniques were used including ultrasound which allowed to diagnose 60% of adenomyomatosis, 33.3% of cholecystosis and 6.7% of gallbladder polyposis. In 6 cases a traditional open surgery cholecystectomy was performed, while the videolaparascopic approach was used in other 6 cases. Histologic examination always confirmed the preoperative diagnosis, however in one case a gallbladder cancer was histologically found; this case had been clinically diagnosed 9 years previously as adenomyomatosis. Therefore, our experience suggest, in agreement with others, that cholecystosis should be considered as a precancerous lesion.
