Abstract

The understanding of Intracholecystic Papillary Neoplasm (ICPN) in the gallbladder is a recent development, hypothesized to have similarities in clinical and pathological traits with Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas and Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm of the Bile Duct (IPNB). In this report, we present an uncommon instance of Intracholecystic Papillary-Tubular Neoplasms in a 38-year-old male. Although Intracholecystic Papillary Neoplasm (ICPN) is uncommon in the gallbladder lining, it typically presents a more favorable prognosis in contrast to gallbladder adenocarcinoma. Nonetheless, it still possesses the potential for metastatic spread to other organs. Our discussion delves into this patient’s case within the context of current literature on ICPN, while also delineating future avenues for enhancing clinical comprehension. Moreover, we emphasize the importance of implementing screening protocols, taking into account identified risk factors, to elucidate the natural course of the disease and deter its progression into invasive gallbladder carcinoma.
