Background Preoperative diagnosis of gallbladder amyloidosis is usually difficult. In our case, the patient exhibited gallbladder dyskinesia, which led us to suspect cholecystic amyloidosis. We were able to safely perform surgery before cholecystitis onset. Case presentation A 59-year-old male patient with a history of multiple myeloma and cardiac amyloidosis presented to our hospital with a chief complaint of epicardial pain. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed an enlarged gallbladder and biliary sludge without any specific imaging findings of cholecystitis. After percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder aspiration (PTGBA), the patient experienced recurrent bile retention and right upper quadrant pain. Flopropione was effective in relieving these symptoms. Based on his symptoms and laboratory findings, we diagnosed the patient with dyskinesia of the gallbladder. Considering his medical history, we suspected that it was caused by amyloidosis of the gallbladder. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. The histopathological examination showed amyloid deposits in the gallbladder mucosa, from the intrinsic layer to the submucosa, and in the peripheral nerves of the gallbladder neck. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 5 and has had no recurrence of abdominal pain since then. Conclusion In our case, gallbladder dyskinesia symptoms led us to suspect gallbladder amyloidosis. We safely surgically treated the patient before cholecystitis onset.
