“…Only a few case reports have been reported primarily in the gallbladder. The first case was described by Bishop in 1901, in a 40-year-old woman with a large cystic lesion in the gallbladder (6). Authors reported only 10 cases of MCN in England between 1977 and 2017 (5).…”

“…Although it is known as benign lesions, there are studies reporting the association of the malignancy and MCN as well. It is reported that MCNs have a potential risk for progression to invasive carcinoma with a rate of 30% (6).…”

Cystic lesions originating from the gallbladder are very rare. Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the liver and biliary system principally occur in the liver, followed by the extrahepatic biliary system. Only a few case reports were reported primarily in the gallbladder.A 63-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with complaints of pain in the right upper abdomen, increasing after meals, and abdominal discomfort. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. Macroscopically, the cyst was localized in the serosa of the fundus. Based on immunohistochemical examination, the cyst was diagnosed as primary mucinous cystic neoplasia of the gallbladder.Although it is very rare, mucinous cystic neoplasia should be kept in mind when dealing with cystic lesions of the gallbladder. Due to serious associated problems such as the risk of malignant transformation or bile duct obstruction, particularly in larger cysts, a cholecystectomy is mandatory.

Mucinous cystic tumor of the gallbladder is an extremely rare benign tumor, with potential for malignant degeneration. Mucinous cystic tumors of the cystic duct are divided into mucinous cystadenoma and mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. Currently, cystadenoma is generally considered to be a precancerous lesion of cystadenocarcinoma. At present, there are few cases reported worldwide, and there are no relevant guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of this disease. This article presents the collected clinical data of a patient with mucinous cystic tumor of the gallbladder who was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan Normal University, with the characteristics of the disease summarized in combination with a focused literature review.
