Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Gall Bladder: A Case Report

Squamous cell carcinoma of the gall bladder is rare. It accounts for less than 12.7 % of all cases of gall bladder cancer. Pure squamous cell carcinoma is even less common with a reported incidence of 3.3%. We present a case of 70 years-old man with decreased appetite, vomiting and fever associated with right upper quadrant pain for two months. Ultrasonography of the abdomen revealed a distended gallbladder with multiple calculi along with large hyperechoic area of sludge. Provisional diagnosis was cholelithiasis with empyema of gall bladder. Cholecystectomy was done. Histopathological examination revealed well to moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the gall bladder without evidence of metastasis.Ibrahim Med. Coll. J. 2014; 8(2): 61-63

Careful Assessment

The clinical case of the patient with squamous cell carcinoma of gall bladder in a combination with cholelithic illness is described. Presurgical diagnostics of gall bladder cancer is difficult, demands a complex and careful assessment of disease anamnesis, a clinical sings, results of laboratory and tool analysis. At impossibility to exclude gall bladder cancer in the presence of a cholelithic illness in all cases operative treatment is needed.

Needle Aspiration Cytology

A case of primary squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) of the thyroid which had been initially diagnosed as an anaplastic carcinoma (ATC) is described: female, 73 years old, with a fast-growing cervical nodule on the left side and hoarseness for 3 months. Ultrasonography showed a 4.5 cm solid nodule. FNA was compatible with poorly differentiated carcinoma with immunoreactivity for AE1/AE3, EMA. Thyroidectomy was performed. Histopathological examination showed a nonencapsulated tumor. Immunohistochemistry disclosed positivity for AE1/AE3, p53,p63, and Ki67. The diagnosis was ATC. A second opinion reported tumor consisting of squamous cells, with intense inflammatory infiltrate both in tumor and in the adjacent thyroid, with final diagnosis of SCC, associated with Hashimoto thyroiditis. No other primary focus of SCC was found. Patient has shown a 48-month survival period. Clinically, primary SCCs of the thyroid and ATCs are similar. The distinction is often difficult particularly when based on the cytological analysis of FNA material.
