Small cell carcinoma of the gall bladder is a rare tumor. The neoplasm is highly lethal, metastasizes early, and may cause death shortly after diagnosis. An oat cell carcinoma of the gallbladder metastatic to the liver and adjacent lymph nodes is described in a 60-year-old male. Partial cholecystectomy was performed followed by aggressive chemotherapy with etoposide and cisplatinum. An 80 % reduction in the size of the unexcised tumor was noted over a period of 6 months. The partial response and the relatively long survival of the patient suggest the use of the above protocol for these rare cases.

Background. Gallbladder small cell carcinoma is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy with no established standard of care treatment. We described here a case report of small cell gallbladder cancer and we then performed a comprehensive review of 72 case reports of this disease.Methods. Published case reports of small cell carcinoma of the gallbladder between 1983 and 2014 were reviewed. Treatment modalities and survival were analyzed for metastatic and localized disease.Results. Median overall survival for all patients was 13 months. Metastatic disease was identified in 72% of cases. Treatment of metastatic disease with chemotherapy showed a significant survival benefit (p<0.001) compared to no chemotherapy, and the use of platinum doublet with etoposide showed a nonsignificant 4-month improvement in survival compared to other chemotherapy regimens (p=0.13). Adjuvant therapy did not demonstrate an improvement of median overall survival in local disease (p=0.78).Conclusion. Given the limited available data, systemic therapy with platinum and etoposide should be considered for patients with metastatic small cell carcinoma of the gallbladder. Adjuvant chemoradiation or chemotherapy for treatment of local disease warrants further investigation.
