“…When AAC is caused by a mass arising from the gallbladder or extrahepatic duct, the distinction between gallbladder adenocarcinoma and lymphoma is difficult to achieve without histological confirmation, as was the case with our patient. 2,5 On computed tomography, low-grade lymphomas may present as a slight thickening in the gallbladder wall, whereas high-grade lymphomas tend to form a solid mass or irregular thickening in the wall, but this patient did not have a solid mass more indicative of high-grade lymphoma. 14 Because of a low incidence rate, histopathology should only be performed in patients with suspected malignancy because it would not be cost-effective.…”
