A 86-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with right upper quadrant pain. Ultrasonography and Computed tomography showed a 40mm tumor in the gallbladder. We diagnosed advanced gallbladder carcinoma, performed extended cholecystectomy and regional lymphadenectomy (D1). The histopathological diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder, T3N0M0 pStage IIIA (UICC), curative resection. She died seven years eight months after operation. Pathological autopsy was performed, there were not recurrence findings.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare histopathologic subtype of gallbladder malignancy. SCC was reported often invade adjacent organs, tend to have poor resectability rates and prognosis even after resection.
