Abstract

The gallbladder is commonly examined for incidental findings. Since gallbladder malignancy has a poor prognosis, distinguishing benign from malignant lesions is crucial. Radiologists and sonographers should therefore be aware of common gallbladder incidental findings, which will undoubtedly increase with increasing medical imaging use. Gallbladder and biliary tree imaging is primarily performed by ultrasound, but contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are becoming more common. It discusses two common gallbladder incidental findings, adenomyomatosis and gallbladder polyps. We will review and compare the imaging features of these conditions between radiological modalities, and discuss the pathology, epidemiology, natural history, and management of these conditions.
