case_images: fig1-2055116921997665
case_images: Ultrasonographically, the gallbladder had a very unusual appearance (Figure 1). The common bile duct walls were thickened, with the lumen variably dilated throughout the duct's length to a maximum of 3 mm internal and 5 mm external diameter (Figure 1).
case_images: Histopathological low-power image of the gallbladder mass in cross section. Scale bar = 2 mm

case_images: fig2-2055116921997665
case_images: Histology of the gallbladder revealed that the mucosa was diffusely thickened, and formed papillary intraluminal proliferations (Figure 2).
case_images: Histopathological image of the gallbladder mass. Use of haematoxylin and eosin staining of the resected gallbladder mass revealed uniform epithelial cells, lining projections and tubules, with low numbers of inflammatory cells within the stroma. Scale bar = 50 mum

case_images: fig3-2055116921997665
case_images: The epithelial cells were well-differentiated cuboidal-to-columnar cells lining central fibrous stalks (Figure 3).
case_images: Macroscopic appearance of the gallbladder adenoma measuring approximately 1.3 cm x 1.2 cm

case_images: fig4-2055116921997665
case_images: These features were consistent with benign papillary adenoma of the gallbladder mucosa (Figure 4).
case_images: Histopathological image of the liver biopsy. This low-power (x 20) view shows the expansion of some portal areas by mixed inflammatory cell infiltrates, increased amounts of collagen (blue arrows), which is sometimes mucinous (asterisk), and biliary hyperplasia (black arrows).

case_images: In addition, biopsy of the medial right liver lobe showed evidence of portal areas expanded by oedematous and variably mucinous collagen, bridging adjacent portal tracts and associated with inflammation and biliary hyperplasia (Figure 5).
