Amyloidosis may be systemic or localised, and is caused by extracellular deposits of amorphous, insoluble fibrillar proteins. We present two cases where vascular amyloidosis of the gallbladder was an incidental finding. The patients were a 79-year-old male and 53-year-old female who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis respectively. In addition to the features of chronic cholecystitis, nodular hyaline material was noted in the walls of small and medium sized blood vessels on microscopy. This material stained with Congo red, with apple green birefringence on polarisation, consistent with amyloid. In both cases the amyloid resisted digestion with potassium permanganate, suggestive of primary amyloidosis. Amyloidosis of the gallbladder diagnosed after cholecystectomy is rare. To our knowledge, only nine cases have been reported in the literature. 1 Clinical presentation varies but may be asymptomatic, as in our cases. Gallbladder involvement has been reported in primary and secondary amyloidosis as well as familial amyloidosis. It is important that the clinician is informed when an incidental diagnosis of amyloidosis is made, as clinical work-up including looking for myeloma is mandatory.
