===Micro===
The sections show gallbladder wall with mild chronic inflammation and entrapped epithelial
crypts, that focally extend through the muscularis. The entrapped deep crypts have no
apparent nuclear atypia, and no apparent mitotic activity.
A very small focus of intestinal metaplasia is present in the surface epithelium. No dysplasia is identified.
