ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Gallbladder ciliated foregut cysts (CFCs) of the lower diaphragm are extremely rare. Furthermore, they are rarely suspected of malignancy preoperatively. Case Presentation. A 50-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for further examination and treatment of a gallbladder tumor that was detected using abdominal ultrasonography (US). After a close inspection, she was diagnosed with a gallbladder tumor that was possibly malignant. Accordingly, open whole layer cholecystectomy was performed because intraoperative US revealed a tumor located on the intraperitoneal side of the gallbladder, and a rapid intraoperative pathological diagnosis identified no malignancy. A postoperative pathological examination revealed a cystic lesion with thin walls covered with ciliated epithelium, which laid on a connective tissue with smooth muscle fibers. Based on the above results, the final pathological diagnosis was CFC of the gallbladder without malignancy.CONCLUSIONS:
Cases of gallbladder CFC can be considered as cysts requiring treatment owing to CFCs' potential for malignant transformation and high-frequency symptoms.
