Core Tip

Core Tip: Gallbladder adenomas are rare benign neoplastic lesions associated with malignant potential. Thus, early management is essential to prevent transformation. They are usually detected incidentally by imaging. Current imaging modalities can ensure a reliable diagnosis in vague cases. The management includes either laparoscopic cholecystectomy or ultrasound surveillance.
