Abstract
Intracholecystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN) of the gallbladder is a macroscopically visible premalignant lesion protruding into the gallbladder lumen, with infrequent association with invasive adenocarcinoma. Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile ducts (IPNB) is a non-invasive lesion characterized by intraductal papillary or villous architecture. Both ICPN and IPNB are rare findings in the gallbladder and biliary tract pathology. Diagnosis relies on clinical manifestations, imaging techniques, and comprehensive histological examination. Here, we present two cases: a 63-year-old male with mild abdominal pain found to have a gallbladder mass, diagnosed histologically as ICPN with associated invasive carcinoma; and a 65-year-old female with chronic jaundice and a large tumor mass in the common bile duct, histologically diagnosed as IPNB with associated invasive carcinoma. These cases highlight the importance of a careful and thorough microscopic examination to rule out differential diagnoses and to reveal any potential invasive carcinoma associated with these uncommon lesions.
