A Case of Early-Stage Gallbladder Cancer, Positive for ALDH1A1, Which Arose from Adenomyomatosis of the Gallbladder

Adenomyomatosis (ADM) of the gallbladder is a condition characterized by the proliferation of Rokitansky–Aschoff sinus (RAS), in which the epithelium of the gallbladder extends into the muscular layer, causing a thickening of the gallbladder wall. Although ADM is generally considered not to be a pre...

description Adenomyomatosis (ADM) of the gallbladder is a condition characterized by the proliferation of Rokitansky–Aschoff sinus (RAS), in which the epithelium of the gallbladder extends into the muscular layer, causing a thickening of the gallbladder wall. Although ADM is generally considered not to be a precancerous lesion of gallbladder cancer, there are some reports of cases of gallbladder cancer from ADM. Therefore, the relationship between ADM and gallbladder cancer remains controversial. We herein report a case of early-stage gallbladder cancer, BilIN3 (high grade), arising from ADM that was positive for ALDH1A1, an important marker of stem cells and cancer stem cells.
