Adenomyomatosis

Adenomyomatosis is a benign condition characterized by hyperplastic changes of unknown etiology involving the wall of the gallbladder.

Causes

Adenomyomatosis is caused by an overgrowth of the mucosa, thickening of the muscular wall, and formation of intramural diverticula or sinus tracts termed Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses.
