This case study demonstrates an uncommon clinical entity of Gallbladder cancer in a 17-year-old male. The patient was presented with generalised abdominal pain and leukocytosis and mildly elevated liver enzymes. Initial imaging showed no gallstones; however, subsequent ultrasonography revealed an intraluminal hyperechoic lesion in the gallbladder. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and biopsy confirmed well-differentiated adenocarcinoma without lymphovascular or perineural invasion. On follow-up, no complication was reported. In this case report, we highlight the importance of considering Gallbladder cancera differential diagnosis after excluding the most common aetiologies at the young age group.}, number={1}, publisher={İstanbul Üniversitesi}
