    This report details the second known case of an obstructing gallbladder polyp, a rare condition mimicking acute cholecystitis. Researchers hypothesize the obstruction mechanism for this unusual gallbladder lesion.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Gallbladder polyps are typically asymptomatic and discovered incidentally.
    • Obstructing gallbladder polyps are exceedingly rare, with limited documented cases.

    Observation:

    • Presents the second documented case of an obstructing gallbladder polyp.
    • Clinical presentation mimicked acute obstructive cholecystitis, posing a diagnostic challenge.

    Findings:

    • The obstructing polyp caused symptoms indistinguishable from acute cholecystitis.
    • A hypothesis regarding the mechanism of obstruction by the gallbladder polyp is proposed.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering rare gallbladder lesions in the differential diagnosis of acute cholecystitis.
