- Abstract
- Ciliated foregut cyst of gallbladder is a very rare benign cystic lesion. A 39-year-old woman was referred to our hospital
after abdominal ultrasonography revealed a cystic lesion of gallbladder. On abdominal ultrasonography and computed
tomography, a unilocular cystic lesion was found at right upper quadrant with attachment to the gallbladder neck. The
gallbladder with cystic lesion was resected through laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The cystic lesion revealed a unilocular
cyst with ciliated cuboidal or columnar epithelium and abundant goblet cells. Pathologic examination is essential
to distinguish from other cystic lesions of the gallbladder and avoid unnecessary additional treatment. In the current
case report, we presented the clinico-pathologic findings of the ciliated foregut cyst of the gallbladder and review of
literature.
