Abstract
We experienced a case of traumatic neuroma incidentally noted in the gallbladder resected for choledo-cholithiasis. Ultra-sonography, computed tomography, and intravenous cholangiography indicated stones in the common bile duct in an 85-year-old female and operation was performed. Many stones were found din the dilated common bile duct. The gallbladder was atrophic and its wall thickened and hardend. Microscopically, thickening of the gallbladder wall was due mainly to nodular proliferation of peripheral nerve fascicles. A diagnosis of traumatic neuroma was made over.Traumatic neuroma in the gallbladder is very rare and a review of the literature disclosed only two cases of it. This paper presents the third case of traumatic neuroma of the gallbladder, with some discussion of its symptoms and pathogenesis.
