Porselen hastalığı / porcelain disease
Porcelain disease is a rare chronic inflammatory condition, usually formed as a result of calcium accumulation in the gallbladder wall, causing the organ to gain a porcelain-like appearance. This disease can increase the risk of gall bladder cancer and often manifest symptomatic, but in some patients it can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. The diagnosis is usually applied with imaging methods (e.g. ultrasound or computerized tomography) and the treatment is mainly done with colesistectomy ( surgical removal of the body).
