only
0
.
5
-
3
%
of
all
malignancies
of
this
organ
.
Most

on
based
on
a
presumptive
diagnosis
of
acute
cholecystitis
according
to
clinical
and
ultrasonographic
findings
.
Histopathological
examination
of
the
infiltrating
mass
of
the
gallbladder
revealed
well
differentiated
keratinized
squamous
cell
carcinoma
invading
full
wall
thickness
.
Thorough
evaluations
revealed
no
other
primary
site
for
the
tumor

Pure
