Squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder: an unusual presentation (original) (raw)
2009, The Internet Journal of Surgery
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the gallbladder is a rare and aggressive affection and is responsible for up to 2% of the malignant neoplasms of this organ. While SCC commonly presents as abdominal lump and/or jaundice, some cases with unusual presentations have been reported in literature. Squamous cell carcinoma of the gall bladder may present rarely as empyema or acute cholecystitis. We report here a rather unusual presentation of a case of a squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder in a 60-year-old male presenting as pyoperitoneum.
