Adenomatous hyperplasia (AH) is an uncommon benign lesion of the gallbladder (GB), predominantly seen in men. AH is commonly confused with malignant GB neoplasms in the setting of chronic cholecystitis and gallstones. There is a scarcity of published literature on AH, suggesting its rarity and the need for this case report.
