SUMMARYWe present an unusual case of a 75-year-old woman, with no significant medical history, presenting with ongoing weight loss and change in bowel habit. Her physical examination and initial blood tests were all normal, and, therefore, radiographic imaging was undertaken. Ultrasound and CT of the abdomen confirmed a gallbladder polyp and a laparoscopic cholecystectomy was subsequently performed. Histological analysis confirmed primary gallbladder lymphoma. This case report is the first to present gallbladder lymphoma presenting as a polyp. The authors discuss the incidence, presentation and management of gallbladder lymphoma.
