Core Tip
Core Tip: Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of the gallbladder (GB) often presents symptoms similar to cholecystitis. In addition, diagnosis and treatment through surgical resection should not be delayed, as distinguishing it from GB cancer on imaging is difficult. The prognosis is favorable after surgical resection, allowing monitoring with appropriate follow-up.
