title: Benign pseudotumorous lesion (fibroangiomyomatous hyperplasia with elastosis) in the gallbladder.
abstract: We describe a rare case of a benign pseudotumorous lesion (fibroangiomyomatous hyperplasia with elastosis) in the gallbladder in a 44-year-old Japanese woman, and discuss the rarity of elastosis in the gallbladder. To our knowledge, this case may be the first report of a pseudotumorous lesion of the gallbladder with elastosis in Japan.
