Abstract
- Sarcomatoid carcinomas are rare neoplasms that have been described using various terms, pseudosarcoma, carcinosarcoma or spindle cell carcinoma. Sarcomatoid carcinomas are epithelial tumors with sarcomatoid components and characterized by the presence of cytokeratin in pleomorphic spindle cells. These tumors of gallbladder rarely have been reported predominantly in older women with associated gallstones and their prognosis was very poor. However, the clinical and histological data are very limited. We report a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma in gallbladder confirmed by light microscopy and immunohistochemistry.
