초록

목적: 담낭의 분절형 선근종증의 아형에 따라 동반하는 담낭결석의 특성을 분석하여 분절형 선근종증과 담석간의 상관관계를 확인하기 위함이다. 대상과 방법: CT에서 담낭에 석회화된 결석을 동반한 55명의 분절형 선근종증 환자들을 대상으로 담낭벽의 비후된 정도에 따라 아형을 나누었고(A형, 담낭벽의 비후가 좁아진 부위에 한정된 경우; B형, 담낭벽의 비후가 협착부위에서 기저부쪽으로 부분 확장된 경우; C형, 담낭벽의 비후가 협착부위뿐만 아니라 기저부구역 전체에 걸쳐 동반된 경우), 동반한 담석의 위치(경부 대 기저부)와 가장 큰 담석의 크기를 후향적으로 분석하였다. 담낭결석을 동반한 환자군과 담낭결석을 동반하지 않는 대조군에서 담낭의 비후된 정도를 비교하였다. 결과: 담낭의 분절형 선근종증에서는 기저부구역에서(48명) 경부구역보다(12명) 담석을 동반하는 경우가 많았다(p < 0.001). 동반한 담낭결석의 평균크기는 C형(($5.4{\pm}4.9$ mm)이 A형($2.3{\pm}2.2$ mm)에 비해 컸다(p=0.033). C형 분절형 선근종증은 담낭결석을 동반한 환자군에서의 빈도(69%)가 대조군에서의 빈도(49%)에 비해 높았다(p=0.012). 결론: CT에서 분절형 선근종증은 기저부구역에 담석을 많이 동반하며 담석을 동반할수록 그리고 담석의 크기가 클수록 담낭벽 비후의 범위가 넓으므로 분절형 선근종증이 담석의 생성과 담낭벽의 만성염증에 기여함을 알 수 있다.

Purpose: To clarify the relationship between the pattern of cholecystolithiasis and the gross features of segmental adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder. Materials and Methods: Fifty-five consecutive patients with segmental adenomyomatosis with calcified gallbladder stones defined on CT were retrospectively analyzed in terms of (i) stone location (fundal vs. neck compartment) and (ii) size of the largest stone as a function of the extent of segmental mural thickening (type A, limited at the narrow segment; type B, partially extended in the fundal direction; type C, involving the entire fundal compartment). The extent of segmental mural thickening in patients with cholecystolithiasis was compared with a control group (n = 48) lacking stones. Results: Stones were found more frequently in the fundal compartment in 48 patients compared to the neck compartment in 12 patients (p<0.001). The mean size of the largest stone in type C ($5.4{\pm}4.9$ mm) was larger than in type A ($2.3{\pm}2.2$ mm) (p=0.033). In patients with cholecystolithiasis, type C segmental thickening was predominant (69%) compared to the control group (42%) (p=0.012). Conclusion: In addition to a higher prevalence of stones, a wide extent of mural thickening combined with large stone size in the fundal compartment suggests the contribution of segmental adenomyomatosis to stone formation and chronic inflammation.
