Secondary tumours of the gallbladder considered are thought to be rare. Since 1863 only 95 cases have been reported. The case discussed here is only the second one in which the metastatic tumor was a medullary plasmocytoma. But a search for published and confirmed cases indicates that secondary tumors of the gall bladder are not so rare. Metastatic tumors of the gall bladder should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of acute cholecystitis, especially in patients with an advanced primary tumor.
