Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Extensive search of the literature reveals the extreme rarity of true diverticulum of the gallbladder. Its frequency varies from 0.0008% of all resected gallbladders at the Mayo Clinic to 0.06% of a series of congenital anomalies of the gallbladder collected from the world literature. We are presenting a case of a true diverticulum of the gallbladder with sonographic demonstration and focal malignant alterations, neither one of which has been reported previously. The difference between true and false diverticula of the gallbladder is discussed.
