Gallbladder Intramucosal Carcinoma Arising in a Cholesterol Polyp: A Case Report

Cholesterol polyp is the most common benign disease of gallbladder polyps, and is considered not to be the origin of malignancy. Herein, we report a rare case of a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma arising in a gallbladder cholesterol polyp. A pedunculated mulberry-like gallbladder polyp diagnosed...

description Cholesterol polyp is the most common benign disease of gallbladder polyps, and is considered not to be the origin of malignancy. Herein, we report a rare case of a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma arising in a gallbladder cholesterol polyp. A pedunculated mulberry-like gallbladder polyp diagnosed with a cholesterol polyp preoperatively consisted of two distinct components macroscopically: a yellow-whitish lobulated lesion and a brownish irregular lesion. Microscopically, the former revealed to be a cholesterol polyp, but the latter demonstrated a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. Even if imaging findings suggest a gallbladder cholesterol polyp, it is important to keep in mind that carcinoma can coexist like our case.
