Résumé
Intracholecystic papillary neoplasms (ICPNs) represent a rare benign entity characterized by intraluminal polypoid lesions in the gallbladder. The incidence of ICPNs ranges from 0.4% to 0.61% in all gallbladder specimens. In this report, we present a case of a young Caucasian woman who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to gallbladder polyps. The histological examination revealed the presence of an intracholecystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN) with a tubulopapillary growth pattern, exhibiting gastric morphology and displaying both low and high-grade dysplasia. A thorough review of the existing literature was conducted, with a specific focus on the histological features. A comprehensive understanding of neoplastic polyps of the gallbladder is still limited. Pathological examination of these lesions is crucial for identifying key features that can influence patient outcomes and survival.

CASE PRESENTATION
METHODS
In this report, we present a case of a young Caucasian woman who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to gallbladder polyps. The histological examination revealed the presence of an intracholecystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN) with a tubulopapillary growth pattern, exhibiting gastric morphology and displaying both low and high-grade dysplasia. A thorough review of the existing literature was conducted, with a specific focus on the histological features.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
A comprehensive understanding of neoplastic polyps of the gallbladder is still limited. Pathological examination of these lesions is crucial for identifying key features that can influence patient outcomes and survival.
