Which of the following condition is associated with focal and diffuse thickening of gall bladder wall with high amplitude reflections and 'comet tail' aifacts on USG?
High-Yield Explanation
Focal diffuse thickening of gall bladder wall with high amplitude reflections and 'comet tail' aifacts on USG suggest the diagnosis of adenomyomatosis. Adenomyomatosis is a benign condition characterized by slow growth, enlarged gall bladder wall and hyperplasia of the gall bladder mucosa forming invaginations through the muscular layers, well known as 'Rokintansky-Aschoff sinuses' which causes the 'comet tail' tail aifact in the USG. It may produce focal, segmental or diffuse mural thickening.
