Intracholecystic papillary-tubular neoplasm of the gallbladder presenting with jaundice.

We herein report a case of intracholecystic papillary-tubular neoplasm (ICPN) of the gallbladder in which jaundice developed. A 58-year-old woman with jaundice was referred to our hospital. Computed tomography revealed a papillary tumor in the body of the gallbladder protruding into the bile duct. A transpapillary biopsy of the bile duct verified adenocarcinoma, and pancreatoduodenectomy with extended cholecystectomy was performed. The tumor spread macroscopically from the gallbladder body to the cystic duct, thus forming a polypoid mass protruding into the bile duct. This is a rare case of invasive carcinoma from ICPN leading to mechanical obstruction of the bile duct.
