[carcinoma of the gallbladder]

Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gallbladder is a rather uncommon disease . We report a case of a neuroendocrine tumor that was located in the wall of the gallbladder and that extended into the liver .A 52 -year -old Caucasian woman presented with right -sided abdominal pain , ascites and jaundice . An MRI scan revealed a tumor mass located in the gallbladder wall and involving the liver . A partial hepatectomy and cholecystectomy were performed . Histology revealed a neuroendocrine tumor , which showed scattered Grimelius positive cells and immuno-expressed epithelial and endocrine markers . Our patient is undergoing chemotherapy treatment .Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors need a multidisciplinary approach , involving immunohistochemistry and molecular-genetic techniques .
