    Tumefactive biliary sludge presents as mobile, rounded masses without acoustic shadows on ultrasound. These lesions, often in the gallbladder or bile duct, can be composed of thickened sludge.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Hepatology

    Context:

    • Biliary sludge is a common finding, but tumefactive sludge presents unique diagnostic challenges.
    • Distinguishing tumefactive sludge from neoplastic or inflammatory lesions is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose:

    • To characterize the sonographic features of tumefactive biliary sludge.
    • To evaluate the composition and location of tumefactive biliary sludge in a cohort of patients.

    Summary:

    • Twenty-two patients with tumefactive biliary sludge were studied, all exhibiting a mobile, rounded, polypoid mass without acoustic shadow on ultrasound.
    • The lesions were located in the gallbladder (15 cases), main bile duct (3 cases), or both (4 cases).
    • Histopathological examination of seven cases confirmed the presence of very thick biliary sludge.

    Impact:

    • This study refines the sonographic criteria for diagnosing tumefactive biliary sludge.
    • Accurate ultrasound characterization can help avoid unnecessary invasive procedures for benign sludge formations.
