Translated title of the contribution: Benign gallbladder polyp is a rare cause of haemobilia

Abstract

Haemobilia can present with gastrointestinal bleeding, biliary colic and jaundice. Causes include trauma, iatrogenic causes, calculi, inflammation, vascular malformations and neoplasms. Benign gallbladder polyp is a very rare cause. A 63-year-old male with suspected gallbladder cancer due to the results from ultrasound scanning and computed tomography presented with epigastric pain, vomiting, weight loss, dizziness, sweating, fatigue, black stool and low haemoglobin level. Gastroscopy and colonoscopy were normal. Surgery revealed a gallbladder with inflammation, fibrosis, haemorrhage, blood clot and a 2 cm pedunculate polyp with no signs of dysplasia or malignant invasion.
