Intracholecystic papillary‐tubular neoplasms are rare precancerous and polypoid lesions of the gallbladder, found in nearly 0.4% of cholecystectomy specimens. They follow the adenoma‐carcinoma sequence. About half the cases are associated with invasive carcinoma. Their diagnosis relies on histopathological examination with extensive sampling of the surgical specimen.
