Cholesterolosis and adenomyomatosis, two diseases of the gallbladder that are unrelated to cholelithiasis or cholecystitis, are detected on oral cholecystograms with considerable frequency. These disorders are of uncertain etiology, and it is also unclear if they cause clinical symptoms. Cholesterolosis is the result of the accumulation of triglycerides and esterified sterols in macrophages in the lamina propria. The abnormality is unassociated with cholesterol gallstones, supersaturation of bile with cholesterol, hyperlipidemia, obesity, or atherosclerosis. Adenomyomatosis involves hyperplasia of the tissues of the gallbladder wall with outpouches of the mucosa similar to diverticula of the colon. In this report, the pathology, etiology, clinical and radiologic features, and treatment of these two entities are reviewed.

Deeper knowledge of the etiopathogenesis of acute pancreatitis and the possibility to estimate the extend and gravity of pancreatic and peripancreatic lesions determined essential fluctuations in treatment evolution. Etiology of nonbiliary and nontraumatic A.P. recognises in the first place alcoholism (20-25% of A.P.) and in the second place less common causes such as: hypercalcemic states, hyperlipidemia (about 5-10% of A.P.). Diagnosis of nonbiliary A.P. leans upon: antecedents of chronic alcoholism, alteration on liver function tests and serum put levels and the results of cholecystocholangiography, abdominal ultrasonography and duodenum tubing. These reveal the absence of gallstones, cholesterolosis or anomalies of papilla of Vater (sphincter of Oddi). A number of 128 patients with acute pancreatitis were admitted to the clinic in the period 1984-1994 from which 48 with a non-biliary and non-traumatic. A complex medical treatment was applied to all patients but only 25 responded favourably, the remaining 23 necessitating surgical intervention, which was effected on de-shocked and re-equilibrated patients, diminishing thus the number or repeat interventions in the complications which may appear in such cases. Thus postoperative mortality fell from 58, 33 to 30, 76.
