Abstract
We describe the case of a 60-year-old man who underwent an elective cholecystectomy for recurrent biliary colic. On microscopic examination, an incidental intracholecystic papillary neoplasm was present at the cystic duct margin, and was also found to colonise Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses. We discuss this diagnostic pitfall for invasion and the diagnostic and management implications for this rare lesion.
期刊介绍:
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
