Abstract

Abstract:

Objective

To summarize the clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics and treatment of squamous cell carcinoma (SC) and adenosquamous cell carcinoma (ASC) of the gallbladder.

Methods

A total of 25 patients with SC/ASC in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2003 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Baseline information, clinical manifestations, serology, radiological examination, surgical information and pathological characteristics were collected.

Results

In the 25 cases, 5 were SC and 20 were ASC. 21 patients (84.0%) presented with nonspecific abdominal pain as the first symptom. All patients had normal bilirubin. 5 patients (20.0%) had elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT). 9 patients (36.0%) had elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and alkaline phosphatases (ALP). SC/ASC usually showed local invasive growth without lymph node metastasis on CT scan. 19 patients (76.0%) underwent radical gallbladder resection. 3 patients (12.0%) underwent palliative cholecystectomy. 3 patients (12.0%) were incidentally diagnosed by postoperative pathology of gallstones. The incidence of lymph node metastasis between SC and ASC were 0 and 69.2%, respectively (P=0.143). There was no significant difference in the proportion of poor differentiation between SC and ASC (20.0% vs 45.0%, P=0.615).

Conclusion

SC and ASC of gallbladder are invasive cancer, difficult in early diagnosis, and radical surgical resection is the preferred treatment.

Key words: Squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder, Adenosquamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder, Cholecystectomy
