“…The incidence of GBA, which are benign and highly vascularized tumors, is low[ 1 ]. They are generally asymptomatic unless there are multiple large adenomas or the tumor tissues are detached resulting in floating fragments in the bile duct or attached to the gallstones[ 7 ].…”

“…GBA are categorized as pyloric gland, intestinal and biliary type adenomas depending on their origin. GBA occur in mostly in females and middle-aged individuals[ 1 , 2 ]. Gallbladder adenocarcinoma (GBC), a malignant tumor of the biliary tract, is known to be the fifth common neoplasm of the digestive tract[ 3 ]; it varies in its geographical distribution and ethnicity[ 4 ].…”

BACKGROUND Gallbladder adenoma is a relatively rare benign tumor with a potential for malignant transformation if found to be greater than 1 cm in size. CASE SUMMARY Herein, we report a case of a 51-year-old female with large 3 cm × 3 cm mass of gallbladder adenoma that was misdiagnosed as adenocarcinoma due to its clinical presentation. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans showed an irregularly shaped cauliflower-like lump in the gallbladder measuring 38 mm × 32 mm corresponding to a malignant tumor and several gallbladder stones with low diffusion-weighted imaging and equisignal of T1-weighted imaging and T2-weighted imaging; moreover, the CA 19-9 levels were very high (184.1 U/mL). Pathology reports after tumor resection showed adenoma with moderate epithelial atypia and moderate atypia in the focal area with fine pedicle and no clear infiltration. CONCLUSION Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans need to be carefully scrutinized in certain rare cases of adenomas with abnormal imaging features.
