Abstract

We report a case of undifferentiated carcinoma of the gallbladder in a 74-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with an abdominal tumor. Aparatomy was performed under the preoperative diagnosis of gallbladder tumor, based on imaging findings. The tumor had invaded the transverse colon, transverse mesocolon, descending part of the duodenum, and uncus of the pancreas. We performed a cholecystectomy considering the patient status. Histological examination showed the undifferentiated carcinoma cells were spindle type. The patient died 72 days after operation. Undifferentiated carcinoma of the gallbladder is a rare neoplasm in Japan. In many cases, the neoplasms grow to become a large mass and invade the adjacent organs. The prognosis is very poor, because patients in the advanced stages die within one year after operation.
