Cytohistopathological correlation of a case of squamous cell carcinoma of gallbladder with lymph node metastasis.
[carcinoma of the gallbladder]
Primary
carcinomas
of
the
gallbladder
are
rare
malignancies
and
adenocarcinoma
is
the
more
common
subtype
.
Primary
squamous
cell
carcinoma
of
the
gallbladder
has
rarely
been
diagnosed
by
aspiration
cytology
.
Here
,
we
present
a
case
of
a
62
-
year
old
female
patient
suffering
from
abdominal
complaints
who
underwent
ultrasound-guided
fine-needle
aspiration
cytology
and
was
diagnosed
as
keratinizing
squamous
cell
carcinoma
of
gallbladder
.
The
diagnosis
was
confirmed
on
subsequent
histopathological
examination
that
also
revealed
metastasis
in
the
cystic
lymph
node
.
Histogenesis
and
biological
behavior
of
squamous
cell
carcinoma
of
gallbladder
remains
a
matter
of
debate
but
the
role
of
aspiration
cytology
in
diagnosing
these
lesions
can
not
be
undermined
.
