Squamous Cell CarcInoma of Gallbladder: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue 5
Abstract
Although gallbladder cancers are rarely seen, the mortality rates are high. Pure squamous cell cancer, which is one of the most rarely seen cancer types in the gallbladder, originates from the squamous metaplasia which forms following chronic irritation in the mucosa. The majority of cases are generally at the inoperable stage when diagnosed as they have been followed up for long-term cholelithiasis. The case is here presented of a 59-year old female who underwent surgical and medical treatment for a bladder tumour 10 years previously and although gallbladder stones were determined at that time, as she was asymptomatic, surgery was not recommended, then with the progression of time, gallbladder squamous cell carcinoma developed.
