Angiodysplasia is a common type of lesion characterized by malformed submucosal and mucosal blood vessels. Angiodysplasia of\nthe gallbladder is extremely rare, usually an incidental finding, with only two cases reported. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a\ncurative treatment for angiodysplasia of the gallbladder. Our report describes a case of angiodysplasia of the gallbladder in a\npatient who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for biliary colic because of gallstones, and a systematic literature\nreview. We surmise that angiodysplasia of the gallbladder could be a risk factor for gallstones in younger female patients.
