Pure Squamous cell carcinoma of Gall Bladder on Cytology-A rare case report
Journal Title: Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Gall bladder is affected primarily by the following malignancies: (1) Adenocarcinoma (2) Adenosquamous carcinoma (3) Squamous cell carcinoma. Adenocarcinoma is the most common malignancy found in Gall bladder. Pure squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder is a rare malignancy. Here, we present a case of pure squamous cell carcinoma in a 70 year old male patient diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. The patient presented to the general surgery OPD with complaints of pain in the right hypochondrium and dyspepsia. The patient underwent ultrasound of whole abdomen during which a mass was found in the gall bladder lumen. Subsequently fine-needle aspiration cytology was done from gall bladder mass under ultrasound guidance. The patient was diagnosed as a case of pure squamous cell carcinoma arising from the gallbladder on the basis of cytology alone. Histogenesis and biological behavior of squamous cell carcinoma of gallbladder remains a matter of debate but the role of aspiration cytology in diagnosing these lesions cannot be undermined.
