Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Gallbladder carcinoid tumors are rare neoplasms.
  • Understanding their clinicopathologic features is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old woman presented with a 10x8x3 mm polypoid gallbladder carcinoid tumor at the neck.
  • Histologic examination revealed classic carcinoid features.

Findings:

  • Tumor cells were argyrophilic and immunoreactive for neuron-specific enolase, cystatin C, chromogranin A, and pancreatic polypeptide.
  • Some cells showed somatostatin positivity.
  • Ultrastructural analysis confirmed neurosecretory-type granules.

Implications:
