Adenomyoma and adenomyomatous hyperplasia are benign tumor-like lesions that rarely involve the major or minor duodenal papilla. We report the case of a 73-year-old patient who underwent a cephalic duodenopancreatectomy due to clinical and radiological evidence of underlying malignant neoplasm. The histopathology results revealed the unusual association of a major duodenal papilla adenomyoma and an adenomyomatous hyperplasia of the minor papilla. Because of their resemblance to pancreatic malignancy, the diagnosis of these lesions is particularly challenging. In most cases, it is established postoperatively, after histopathological examination of the surgical specimen.

Gallbladder adenomyoma/adenomyomatous nodule/adenomyomatosis is a benign condition characterized by mucosal invaginations within the gallbladder wall with or without proliferation of smooth muscle fibers. Gallbladder adenomyoma is often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during imaging studies performed for other unrelated conditions. It can mimic malignancy on radiological findings, creating a diagnostic dilemma.

Atypical polypoid adenomyoma (APA) is a polypoid biphasic lesion of low malignant potential that arises in the lower uterine segment and uterine corpus. The diagnosis of APA is often challenging on biopsy and curettage specimens, and both benign and malignant processes need to be considered in the differential. Stromal expression of p16 and SATB2 have recently been shown to distinguish APA from myoinvasive endometrioid carcinoma.

Adenomyomatous hyperplasia and adenomyoma are rare benign inflammatory pseudotumors of the gallbladder arising from Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses. Occurrence of these hyperplastic conditions in the Vaterian and biliary system is extremely rare and is a concern for gastroenterologists and surgeons in distinguishing them from primary malignancies of the biliary system. Definitive diagnosis by imaging or cytopathological examination is difficult; thus, surgical resection becomes the only choice in such cases to relieve the obstruction.
