Reviewer's report:
Rare gallbladder adenomyomatosis presenting as atypical cholecystitis: A case
report
Adenomyomatosis of gallbladder is a common condition reported in up to 5% of
cholecystectomy specimens. This clinical entity frequently is an asymptomatic
incidental finding (or may present with occasional abdominal pain), has no
intrinsic malignant potential and usually requires no specific therapy. The primary
clinical significance of this condition is due to similarities at imaging with
gallbladder cancer.
The authors Sheng –Hong Lin report a patient of adenomyomatosis of
gallbladder with fever alone and no abdominal pain. Even as several already
known aspects of adenomyomatosis such as the classical findings on T2
weighted MRI images and Gallium 67 scan have been well described, on the
basis of association of fever alone, case report cannot be recommended for
publication especially when the haematological, biochemical and histological
parameters are indicative of an acute inflammatory pathology.
Also the manuscript is full of typographic / grammatical errors.
Level of interest: An article of insufficient interest to warrant publication in a
scientific/medical journal
Quality of written English: Not suitable for publication unless extensively edited
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
