## TL;DR

This paper reports the third known case of a rare gallbladder tumor linked to gallstones and reviews all previously documented cases.

## Contribution

The paper adds a new case and emphasizes the underdiagnosis of gallbladder hemangiomas.

## Key findings

- Only three cases of gallbladder hemangioma associated with gallstones have been reported.
- Gallbladder hemangiomas are likely underdiagnosed and require careful examination of removed gallbladder tissue.

## Abstract

Gallbladder hemangiomas are extremely rare benign tumors. Eighteen cases have been reported in the literature, with only two associated with gallstones. We report the third case of a gallbladder hemangioma associated with gallstones in a 54-year-old Moroccan woman, along with a comprehensive review of the literature. Gallbladder hemangiomas are likely underdiagnosed, underscoring the need for careful examination of cholecystectomy specimens.
