A Case of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Gallbladder
Abstract
- Squamous cell carcinoma of gallbladder is rare and its pathogenesis is unknown. A 63-year-old woman presented with right upper quadrant pain. Investigations revealed irregular and ill-defined heterogenous soft tissue mass in gallbladder fossa, which was infiltrated to the liver, pancreatic head, and duodenum on CT scan. Biopsy of liver and duodenum confirmed it as squamous cell carcinoma. Because the normal gallbladder does not have a squamous epithelium, squamous cell carcinoma of gallbladder has been the subject of interest in several publications. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of gallbladder.
