The authors reported a case of fundal-type adenomyomatosis in which mural stratification corresponding to histopathological findings was clearly demonstrated with MR imaging. Single-shot fast spin echo images for MR cholangiopancreatography clearly visualized Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses (RAS), which are a diagnostic clue for this disease. However, mural stratification comprising RAS with muscular proliferation, massive fibrosis and subserosal fat deposition was more precisely demonstrated in T(2)-weighted images obtained with fast spin echo.
