Abstract

Neurovascular hamartoma is a very rare pathological lesion in medical literature. In view of rarity of the lesion, diagnostic criteria is unavailable in medical literature. We report about a 55-year-old gentleman with a provisional diagnosis of carcinoma gallbladder and underwent cholecystectomy. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of neurovascular hamartoma. The patient has been followed up for 6 years with no evidence of recurrence. Neurovascular hamartoma being a benign lesion creates diagnostic dilemma for the surgeon mimicking malignancy. Hence high index of suspicion is required.
