Abstract
A case of papillary mucinous adenoma arising in adenomyomatous hyperpl asia (AMH) of the gall bladder is reported. The lesion was unsuspected and discovered by routine palpation of the gallbladder during laparot omy. The adenoma developed within fundal AMH and showed cytological at ypia. This case illustrates that neoplastic proliferation is indeed po ssible in AMH and challenges the classical opinion that AMH is devoid of neoplastic potential.
