Early signs f adm in gall bladder
I have gastric pains sometimes in the epigastric area and pain shifts towards back some times. The pains are infrequent. I am healthy otherwise. Workout 5 times a week and energetic. However, on Consultation from general physician, I got an ultra sonography done. The reports say minimal wall thickening of gall bladder ( early signs of adenomyomatosis seen). Also something related to comet train artifacts mentioned. What does it mean ? Is surgery required ? Also is ADM of Gall bladder can turn into malignace in long run? I do not smoke or drink. Please advise

Adenomyomatosis (ADM)is generally a benign condition of the gall bladder (GB) where the inner lining (mucosa) as well the muscularis wall gets thickened. Sometimes it presents in the form of acute attacks of pain. Symptomatic ADM is an indication for proceeding with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Also there are recently certain reports suggesting links between ADM and GB cancer. So if you know that you have adenomyomatosis and you have had pain also infrequently, it is better to get the surgery done which is one time cure for ADM and for the risk of cancer as well.
