Abstract
Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses (R-As) are epithelial invaginations that extend down the gallbladder wall through the smooth muscle gaps and by this pathway they reach the subserosal connective tissue. We report here 5 cases of mucin-containing R-As that ruptured, and as a result, extracellular mucin escaped into the adjacent stroma. They were compared with 10 mucinous carcinomas of the gallbladder. Three cases of mucin-containing R-As accompanied by...
