Abstract :
Villous adenomas occur most frequently in the rectum and colon. These tumors are rarely seen in the gallbladder. We report a case
of gallbladder villous adenomas in a 69-year-old patient who has systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The patient was admitted for
investigation of a gallbladder mass. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging showed two wellcircumscribed
lobulated masses in the gallbladder. Open cholecystectomy was performed and histological examination revealed
typical features of villous adenoma. This report describes the first case of villous adenomas of gallbladder with SLE, and documents
its imaging findings comprehensively.
