Pure squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of gallbladder is a very rare tumour and is responsible for only 3% of the malignant neoplasm of this organ. We report a case of SCC of gallbladder in a 58-year-old woman. Through this new observation, we propose to study the clinicopathologic features, pathogeny and treatment of this rare entity.
