Core Tip	Gallbladder schwannoma, a benign tumor derived from the Schwann’s cells in the gallbladder wall, is extremely rare. This paper describes the case of a 55-year-old man with a mass in the gallbladder but no other symptoms. The patient was treated by cholecystectomy. After 1 year of follow-up with clinical evaluation and ultrasound (US), it did not show any evidence of local recurrence. We learned through this rare case of gallbladder schwannoma that the imaging findings have not been reported in detail before. The US, especially contrast-enhanced ultrasound, features seemed to be helpful in excluding malignancy, and it was essential for treatment planning and the alleviation of patient anxiety in this case.
