With Mirizzi's Syndrome, the CBD and GB will be normal in size, but causes dilatation of the CHD and intrahepatic radicals.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Mirizzi's syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the compression of the common hepatic duct (CHD) by a gallstone impacted in the cystic duct or neck of the gallbladder (GB). This compression leads to obstruction of bile flow and subsequent dilatation of the CHD and intrahepatic radicals. However, the CBD (common bile duct) and GB remain normal in size. Therefore, the statement that the CBD and GB will be normal in size, but causes dilatation of the CHD and intrahepatic radicals is correct.Rate this question:

This represents a group of benign non-inflammatory conditions that are both proliferative and degenerative.
Correct Answer
hyperplastic cholecystosisExplanation
Hyperplastic cholecystosis refers to a group of benign non-inflammatory conditions that involve both proliferation and degeneration. This means that there is an abnormal increase in the number of cells in the gallbladder, leading to structural changes and degeneration of the tissue. These conditions are not associated with inflammation, which distinguishes them from other types of cholecystitis. The term "hyperplastic" indicates the excessive cell growth, while "cholecystosis" refers to the involvement of the gallbladder. Therefore, hyperplastic cholecystosis is the correct answer to describe this group of proliferative and degenerative conditions affecting the gallbladder.Rate this question:
- 29.
What are the 2 types of hyperplastic cholecystosis:
Correct Answer
adenomyomatosis and cholesterolosis
adenomyomatosis, cholesterolosisExplanation
The correct answer is "adenomyomatosis and cholesterolosis." These are the two types of hyperplastic cholecystosis. Adenomyomatosis refers to the hyperplasia of the gallbladder wall, where the muscle layer becomes thickened and forms small outpouchings called Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses. Cholesterolosis, on the other hand, is the accumulation of cholesterol esters within the gallbladder wall, leading to the formation of yellow plaques or polyps. Both conditions can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and may require treatment if they become symptomatic or complications arise.Rate this question:

Hyperplasia of the GB epithelium results in diverticulums or sinus formation known as :
Correct Answer
Rokitansky-Aschoff sinusesExplanation
Hyperplasia of the GB epithelium refers to an abnormal increase in the number of cells in the gallbladder epithelium. This can lead to the formation of diverticulums or sinus-like structures within the gallbladder wall. These sinus formations are specifically known as Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses, named after the pathologists Carl von Rokitansky and Ludwig Aschoff who first described them. Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses are a characteristic feature of chronic cholecystitis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the gallbladder.Rate this question:
- 45.
Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses are ________ out-pouching's extending into the ________ layer.
Correct Answer
mucosal, muscularExplanation
Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses are small pouches that protrude into the mucosal layer of the tissue. These sinuses are typically found in the gallbladder and are believed to be a result of chronic inflammation. They can vary in size and shape, and their presence is often associated with gallbladder disease. The muscular layer, on the other hand, refers to the layer of smooth muscle that surrounds the mucosal layer.Rate this question:
