Rare Case Report

Background: Mucinous carcinoma of the gall bladder is a very rare type of gall bladder carcinoma. It is characterized by production of extracellular mucin >50% of tumour volume. Case Report: We report a case of primary mucinous carcinoma of gall bladder in a 60-year-old female patient who was diagnosed clinically as acute cholecystitis. Histopathological examination gave the definitive diagnosis in this case. Conclusion: Mucinous carcinoma of gall bladder exhibit significant clinicopathological difference from conventional adenocarcinoma of gall bladder and display aggressive clinical behaviour. Key words: Mucinous Carcinoma, Gall Bladder, Primary.

In the biliary tract, ‘mucinous’ carcinomas in which extracellular mucin constitutes more than 50% of the tumour volume, are very rare. Those tumours in which the mucinous pattern comprises of at least 90% of the tumour are called ‘pure mucinous’ carcinomas and are exceedingly rare in the gallbladder. We describe the case of a 55 years old female, who presented with the complaints of jaundice and dull aching pain in right hypochondriac region. USG abdomen was suggestive of carcinoma along with cholelithiasis, following which cholecystectomy was performed. Grossly, a large grey-white tumour was identified whose cut surface was variegated. Sections showed a tumour which was entirely composed of pools of extracellular mucin, in which clusters of tumour cells were floating. Based on morphology and immunohistochemistry, a final diagnosis of ‘pure mucinous (colloid) adenocarcinoma’ of the gallbladder was given. This case is described owing to the rarity of this neoplasm. The clinical features, natural history and prognosis of mucinous carcinoma of GB are not very well known, due to their extreme rarity. These have been discussed in this case report. Histopathological examination is vital for a decisive diagnosis of such cases.

Advanced Stages

Gall bladder carcinoma is an exceedingly rare and fatal cancer with a high mortality rate.  Detecting gall bladder carcinoma in early stages can be difficult, despite improvements in ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) imaging. Most diagnoses of gallbladder carcinoma are made at advanced stages, with majority being found incidentally during surgery for cholelithiasis.  The presented case demonstrates suspicion of Gallbladder carcinoma pre-operatively.

Histopathological Subtype

Gall bladder carcinoma is the most common type of tumor of the biliary tract and adenocarcinoma is the major histopathological subtype. Mucinous variant is a rare subtype and mucinous carcinoma accompanied with signet ring is extremely rare. When mucinous component exceeds 90% of the tumor, it is labeled as pure mucinous carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry helps to distinguish primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of gall bladder from pseudo myxoma peritonei from appendiceal neoplasm. Mucinous carcinoma is CK 7 positive and CK20 negative. We report a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma arising from the fundus of the gall bladder.

Adnexal Tumour

Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma (PCMC) also known as primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin (PMCS) or primary mucinous eccrine carcinoma (PMEC) is a rare malignant adnexal tumour of eccrine origin. Many visceral mucinous carcinomas especially of the breast and gastrointestinal tract can metastasize to the skin mimicking PCMC. Hence it is very important to rule out metastatic mucinous carcinomas before making a diagnosis of PCMC. Usually, PCMC presents as a slowgrowing tumour of considerably smaller size compared to our case. The large size and shorter duration are the key features of this case report. Here we report an unusually large-sized rare malignant tumour of skin appendage. Our patient was a 54-year-old lady who presented with progressive swelling of one year duration in the right frontoparietal area. Ultrasonography showed an ill-defined lesion in the subcutaneous plane with multiple cystic spaces within it. No bone involvement was noted. The excised lesion measured 13 x 7 x 2 cms and was diagnosed as primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma on histopathological examination. The possibility of cutaneous secondaries from elsewhere was ruled out by detailed clinical and radiological investigations. The case is reported considering the unusually bigger size and shorter duration of this rare entity.

Male breast carcinoma is a rare entity. Here, we present a case of mixed mucinous carcinoma i.e. composite mucinous carcinoma with infiltrating ductal carcinoma component in a 55 year old man. Patient clinically presented with a lump in his right breast. Histopathological examination of the breast mass showed tumor cells arranged in nests, cords, cribriform pattern in a mucinous stroma and a part of tumor was showing features of infiltrating ductal carcinoma with desmoplastic stroma.

Background: The present study highlights the occurrence of Incidental gallbladder carcinoma (IGBC) detected during histopathological examination in cholecystectomy specimens removed for cholelithiasis. Methods- This is a tertiary hospital based cross-sectional study of 500 cholecystectomy specimens removed during cholelithiasis. Relevant hospital records, histopathology slides and reports were reviewed, re-evaluated and studied. Results: 4(0.80%) cases of incidental gall bladder carcinoma (IGBC) were diagnosed from the histopathological evaluation (HPE) of 500 cholecystectomy specimens, constituting 0.80% of gall bladder specimens received during the study period. The age of the patients with IGBC ranged from 51-80 years. More females were affected than males with a M:F ratio of 1:3. Conclusion: Early detection of IGBC by histopathological examination would have a favourable impact on prognosis and management thereby increasing the survival outcome.

ABSTRACT The trichoepithelioma is a benign cutaneous neoplasm which is derived from hair follicles. It is common in the face, but there are only three reports of the solitary occurrence on the nose. It is often not recognized because of its rarity, controversial classification, origin and biological potential. The objective of this paper is to present a case of solitary trichoepithelioma on the nose, histopathological examination and treatment. It should be considered as a differential diagnosis of a solitary lesion of nose which is confused with basal cell carcinoma. The confirmation by histopathological examination is essential.
