Cureus. 2019 Jul 4;11(7):e5081. doi: 10.7759/cureus.5081.

Abstract

We report a case of stage T1b gallbladder carcinoma with concurrent hepatic anastomosing hemangioma managed by operative resection. We review the work-up and surgical management of this patient. We also discuss the relevant literature of both gallbladder cancer and hepatic anastomosing hemangioma, a recently described and rare variant of capillary hemangioma.

Keywords: anastomosing hemangioma; extended cholecystectomy; gallbladder; gallbladder carcinoma; liver.
