Gallbladder carcinoid tumors are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms. This case highlights their aggressive behavior and poor prognosis, even with multimodal treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) rarely arise in the biliary tract, with gallbladder carcinoids being exceptionally uncommon.
  • This report focuses on a rare case of gallbladder carcinoid, a type of neuroendocrine tumor, presenting in a 71-year-old male.

Observation:

  • The patient presented with recurrent right upper quadrant pain, dyspepsia, and was diagnosed with a gallbladder carcinoid tumor extending to hepatic segments IV and V.
  • Diagnostic imaging, likely ultrasound, identified the mass, prompting surgical intervention.

Findings:

  • Surgical management included cholecystectomy, lymphadenectomy, and resection of hepatic segments IV and V.
  • Despite chemotherapy and somatostatin analogue treatment, the patient succumbed to the disease within 12 months.

Implications:

  • Gallbladder carcinoids, though rare, exhibit aggressive behavior and portend a poor prognosis.
  • This case underscores the need for awareness and potentially novel therapeutic strategies for biliary tract neuroendocrine tumors.
