Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Medicine
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Gallbladder osteomas are exceptionally rare benign bone tumors.
  • Neoplasms of the gallbladder are uncommon, with adenocarcinoma being the most prevalent type.
  • This case presents a unique instance of multiple osteomas within the gallbladder.

Observation:

  • A 39-year-old woman experienced right upper quadrant abdominal pain and leukocytosis.
  • Abdominal ultrasound revealed three non-mobile, intraluminal gallbladder lesions.
  • Surgical resection of the gallbladder confirmed the presence of three small, polypoid osteomas.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the lesions as osteomas, a type of benign bone tumor.
  • The osteomas were intraluminal and polypoid in morphology.

  • Literature review indicated no prior documented cases of gallbladder osteomas.

    • Implications:

    • This finding expands the differential diagnosis for intraluminal gallbladder lesions.
    • Further research may be warranted to understand the etiology and behavior of gallbladder osteomas.
    • Clinicians should consider osteomas in the differential diagnosis of gallbladder masses, particularly in the absence of typical risk factors for other gallbladder neoplasms.
