Of the patients, 56 had AC, 21 chronic cholecystitis, 2 carcinoma of the gallbladder, and 57 extrabiliary diseases. In AC, frequent findings in addition to cholelithiasis were wall thickening (79%) and an increased volume (64%). Almost one third of the patients had local tenderness (sonographic Murphy sign) (29%), and 27% of the gallbladders had a rounded form. All these features were, however, rather frequently detected also in chronic cholecystitis (5-33%) and in the 2 carcinoma patients, and also sporadically in extrabiliary diseases. A anechoic layer in the gallbladder wall was the only sign confined to AC, but was detected only in 2 cases. Roundness of the gallbladder occurred only in either acute or chronic cholecystitis.
