Calcified carcinoma of the gallbladder with calcified nodal metastasis presenting as a porcelain gallbladder: a case report.
[carcinoma of the gallbladder]
Porcelain
gallbladder
is
regarded
as
a
risk
factor
of
gallbladder
cancer
.
A
porcelain
gallbladder
with
calcified
regional
lymph
nodes
was
found
using
computed
tomography
(
CT
)
and
magnetic
resonance
imaging
(
MRI
)
in
a
43
-
year
-old
man
who
presented
with
nausea
,
vomiting
,
and
abdominal
pain
.
His
cholecystectomy
specimen
showed
diffuse
wall
thickening
and
contained
small
gallstones
.
Histological
examination
revealed
diffuse
infiltrative
adenocarcinoma
with
extensive
intratumoral
calcification
(
calcified
carcinoma
)
.
The
majority
of
the
calcified
material
was
located
within
or
replaced
the
tumor
glands
,
and
was
not
found
in
the
stroma
.
A
lymph
node
was
totally
replaced
with
a
calcified
metastatic
adenocarcinoma
.
To
the
best
of
our
knowledge
,
only
one
case
of
calcified
lymph
node
metastasis
from
a
calcified
carcinoma
of
the
gallbladder
has
been
previously
reported
in
the
literature
.
We
herein
add
a
case
of
calcified
carcinoma
of
the
gallbladder
with
calcified
lymph
node
metastasis
,
presenting
as
a
porcelain
gallbladder
on
CT
and
MRI
.
