Abstract:
Adenocarcinoma constitutes 90%-95% of all malignant gallbladder (GB) neoplasms, making it the predominant subtype. In contrast, adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) is significantly less common and comprises both glandular and squamous components. This subtype is more aggressive and has a worse prognosis than GB adenocarcinoma. Currently, complete surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment. In this paper, we present the case of a 56-year-old female diagnosed with moderately differentiated ASC of the GB, who underwent radical cholecystectomy, including the resection of liver segments IVb and V.
