Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder is considered an acquired pathologic condition that affects adults, with only 2 cases previously described in childhood. We report on a 5-year-old boy with incidental detection of this lesion by ultrasonography. Pathologic and clinical assessments are discussed in addition to treatment decision-making, including current insights into the relation between adenomyomatosis and malignancy of the gallbladder. The liberal use of ultrasonography in children with abdominal pain may result in detection of an increasing number of asymptomatic patients. Care-givers should be aware of this condition and its therapeutic implications in the pediatric population.

Purpose: This study was conducted to analyze and synthesize the findings of qualitative studies related to the decision-making experience of older patients with cancer in choosing treatment.Methods: We used the seven steps of Noblit and Hare’s meta-ethnography to analyze and synthesize selected qualitative studies. Seven databases were used to search the literature that explored the decision-making experiences of older patients with cancer in choosing treatment: PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, Research Informations Sharing Service (RISS), Koreastudies Information Service System (KISS), and National Assembly Library.Results: The final 11 studies were included in the analysis. Three themes emerged as result of synthesizing: “Checking the feasibility of treatment in one’s own life”, “The constant weighing up the gains and losses of treatment”, and “Having meanings to life”.Conclusion: This study provides an in-depth understanding of treatment decision-making experiences of older patients with cancer and highlights the complex factors that influence their treatment decision-making process. This may contribute to the development of interventions that help older patients with cancer choose treatment during the decision-making process.
