Abstract:
Intracholecystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN) is a rare pre-cancerous lesion. We report a unique case of 52 years-old male who presented with chronic upper abdomen pain, the exact nature of pathology was found after cholecystectomy on histopathological examination that reveals non-invasive ICPN of the gallbladder, unfortunately involving the resection margin with high-grade dysplasia. Due to limited cases recorded globally, definitive guidelines on the management of ICPN are lacking. We suggest long-term surveillance in all cases of incidental ICPN.
