2016年11月15日 · To evaluate the prevalence of tumefactive sludge of the gallbladder detected at ultrasonography (US) and to assess whether any clinical and imaging differences exist between benign and malignant tumefactive sludge.

2024年12月30日 · Gallbladder or biliary sludge, also known as biliary sand, biliary sediment, or thick bile, is a mixture of particulate matter and bile. On ultrasound, it is normally seen as a fluid-fluid level in the gallbladder, corresponding to the precipitate of bile solutes.

2023年5月4日 · Gallbladder sludge forms when bile remains in the gallbladder for too long. Mucus from the gallbladder can mix with cholesterol and calcium salts, combining to create the sludge. Gallbladder...

Right upper quadrant pain associated with nausea, vomiting, and chills. There is echogenic/tumefactive sludge within the gallbladder with borderline gallbladder wall thickening. No shadowing gallstones are visible. There is intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation.

In this case report, we describe a rare case in which biliary sludge did not form a fluid–fluid level but tended to accumulate and appear as a polypoid mass within the lumen of the GB. The lesion was finally identified as being tumefactive sludge mimicking neoplasm of the GB. Keywords: Gallbladder neoplasm, sludge, tumefactive. I NTRODUCTION

2016年11月16日 · Tumefactive sludge was identified according to the following US findings: (a) nonmovable mass-like lesion and (b) absence of posterior acoustic shadowing at B-mode US and vascularity at color Doppler US.

2015年10月15日 · Although tumefactive gallbladder sludge on US can mimic gallbladder cancer, its hyperintensity on a T1-weighted image, and the absence of enhancement and diffusion restriction on MRI images can be helpful for differentiating it from a tumorous condition.

2016年4月1日 · Although tumefactive gallbladder sludge on US can mimic gallbladder cancer, its hyperintensity on a T1-weighted image, and the absence of enhancement and diffusion restriction on MRI images can be helpful for differentiating it from a tumorous condition.

2016年2月16日 · Although tumefactive gallbladder sludge on US can mimic gallbladder cancer, its hyperintensity on a T1-weighted image, and the absence of enhancement and diffusion restriction on MRI images can be helpful for differentiating it from a tumorous condition.

The tumefactive gallbladder sludge was pre-dominantly seen as a well-defined mass-like lesion. It showed hyperintensity on T1-weighted images (91.7%, 11/12), and variable signal intensities on T2-weighted images. Most of the tumefactive sludge lesions showed no enhancement on the dynamic phases (90%, 9/10). There
