Magnetic Resonance Diffusion-Weighted Imaging for Detecting Fundal Intracholecystic Papillary Neoplasm inside Rokitansky-Aschoff Sinuses: A Comparison of Two Cases and a Literature Review
Keyword(s):
Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses (RAS) are a common imaging finding in gallbladder adenomyomatosis (ADM), often presenting as fundal cystic spaces. Intracholecystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN) is a relatively uncommon pre-invasive tumor of the gallbladder epithelium that rarely involves RAS mucosa. We compare two cases that showed similar fundal cystic spaces resembling RAS, in which Magnetic Resonance Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (MR-DWI) was valuable for detecting (or ruling out) an underlying malignant ICPN. Evidence from the literature overall supports the role of MR-DWI for detecting intracholecystic malignant tissue.
