Abstract

PAEZ-CUMPA, Claudia et al. Hemobilia due to intracholecystic papillary neoplasm. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2017, vol.109, n.1, pp.70-73. ISSN 1130-0108.  https://dx.doi.org/10.17235/reed.2016.4205/2016.

We report the case of a 39-year-old patient who presented an episode of upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to hemobilia. The imaging tests showed the gallbladder occupied by solid tissue, with a diagnosis of intracholecystic papillary neoplasm after the cholecystectomy. The intracholecystic papillary neoplasm of the gallbladder is a newly established entity and it is considered a subtype of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct. Its presentation in the form of hemobilia has barely been described in the literature.

Keywords : Intracholecystic papillary-tubular neoplasms (ICPN); Gallbladder cancer; Papillary carcinoma; Hemobilia.
