Adenosquamous Carcinoma of the Gallbladder with Osteoblast Formation and Involvement of the Bile Duct
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe an adenosquamous carcinoma of the gallbladder in a 40 year old male presenting with obstructive jaundice secondary to a bile duct stricture. The bile duct adjacent to the gallbladder was involved solely with adenocarcinoma and this was confirmed with immunohistochemistry using antibodies to ca 19.9. ca 125 and CEA. We postulate that only the adenocarcinoma component of the primary tumour invaded the epithelium of the adjacent bile duct. This led to the progression and involvement of the adjacent bile duct epithelium by the adenocarcinoma component only.

متن کاملGallbladder Papillary Neoplasia Associated With Intrahepatic Carcinoma and Pancreaticobiliary Malformation
Papillary carcinoma is a rare tumor of the gallbladder. Papillary mucinous lesions of the intra- and extra-hepatic biliary tract (BT- IPMN) have been recognized. However the gallbladder is not included, except for the diffuse papillomatosis, where the sequence biliary papillomatosis to papillary carcinoma is proposed. We report a simultaneous case of gallbladder papillary neoplasia and intrahep...
متن کاملRelative measurement of heavy elements in the bile, gallbladder and gallstone
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: PIXE (Particle Induced X-Ray Emission) is a suitable method for the analysis of biological samples in which heavy trace elements are contained in light matrix elements. It is very important to know which factors or probably elements act as initial seed and lead to growing the sands. The goal of this study was to compare the relative values of Fe/K, Cu/K and Zn/K for gallst...
متن کاملMelatonin: A therapeutic potential for the neurohormone in gallbladder disorders
In humans, N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine (melatonin), a neurohormone widely found in plants and animal sources, is synthesized from serotonin primarily by the pineal gland.

Melatonin regulates various biological and physiologic body functions and its role in the regulation of circadian rhythms, particula...
