## TL;DR

A rare gallbladder condition called intracholecystic papillary neoplasm was found in a young woman after gallbladder surgery.

## Contribution

This case report highlights a rare neoplasm and contributes to the limited literature on its clinical presentation and management.

## Key findings

- Intracholecystic papillary neoplasm with high-grade dysplasia was identified in a 30-year-old patient.
- The condition was discovered incidentally after robotic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstones.
- The case emphasizes the importance of pathological examination for early detection of potential malignancy.

## Abstract

We present a case of a 30-year-old female with symptomatic gallstones and associated gallbladder polyps. An incidental finding of intracholecystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN) with high-grade dysplasia was found after pathological examination of the gallbladder after robotic cholecystectomy. This rare condition can be associated with malignant transformation. In this case report, we discuss this rare entity and share our experience and review of the literature.
