Although intracholecystic papillary neoplasms (ICPNs) have been increasingly recognized, their features remain unclear because of the lack of standardized definition. This study aimed to elucidate clinicopathologic and genetic features of ICPNs using stringent diagnostic criteria. On the basis of the recently proposed criteria, gallbladder neoplasms showing delicate papillary growth were diagnosed as ICPNs, while polypoid papillary adenocarcinomas arranged in a complex architecture were categorized as papillary gallbladder cancers (GBCs). Clinicopathologic features were compared among ICPNs (n=7), papillary GBCs (n=24), and nonpapillary GBCs (n=44). Whole-exome and validation Sanger sequencing was also conducted. Gross mucin hypersecretion was detected in 3/7 ICPNs (43%), 1/24 papillary GBCs (4%), and 1/44 nonpapillary GBCs (2%) (P
