Carcinosarcoma of the gallbladder accompanied with cholecystolithiasis: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carcinosarcoma of the gallbladder is a rare malignancy characterized by malignant epithelial and mesenchymal components. We herein report a case of a patient in a 68-year-old woman, with carcinosarcoma of the gallbladder. The patient is treated by cholecystostomy. Histologically, the epithelial component of the tumor was composed of adenocarcinoma and the mesenchymal component with spindle cells. The tumor invaded the ligamentum hepatoduodenale, hepatic flexure of colon, part of the transverse mesocolon, and liver first porta. So we decided to do the cholecystostomy. The prognosis of carcinosarcoma of the gallbladder remains poor, and thus, the authors recommend that effort should be made to improve surgical outcomes.
