A Case With Gallbladder Villous Tubular Adenoma With High‐Grade Intraepithelial Neoplasia Combined With Rectal Villous Tubular Adenocarcinoma
We present the rare case of a 79-year-old female patient with the coexistence of gallbladder villous tubular adenoma and rectal villous tubular adenocarcinoma. She initially presented with blood in the stool, prompting a diagnosis of rectal cancer. Further examination revealed findings suggestive of a gallbladder pathology. Subsequent imaging and histopathological analyses confirmed the presence of a gallbladder villous tubular adenoma, high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and rectal villous tubular adenocarcinoma. Surgical interventions included laparoscopic radical resection of the rectal cancer and cholecystectomy. Immunohistochemical examination differentiated between the two distinct adenomatous conditions. This case underscores the importance of thorough evaluation and multidisciplinary approaches for accurate diagnosis and management of complex presentations of gastrointestinal neoplasms.
