Abstract Five hundred and two patients with good opacification of the gallbladder were studied by means of ceruletide-assisted cholecystography. A high percentage (15.7; 79 patients) was found to have hyperplastic cholecystoses. So far 26 of these patients have been operated upon because of gallstones or painful symptoms. The x-ray diagnosis was confirmed in all cases. Compared with routine cholecystography, the powerful contraction induced by ceruletide appears to lead to a more frequent recognition of hyperplastic cholecystoses.
