“…The latter frequently occurs to the liver and regional nodes. Osseous metastasis, however, is extremely rare [ 2 – 10 ]; it occurs in advanced stages [ 3 ] and is usually osteolytic [ 4 ]. The organ tropism (favourable soil) by the cancer cells (seed) was put forth by Paget on the basis of complementary expression of chemokines and ligands.…”

SummaryBackgroundCarcinoma of the gall bladder has a guarded prognosis with predominant sites of involvement being liver and regional nodes. Osseous metastasis in carcinoma of the gall bladder is rare and hence bone scintigraphy does not form a part of the routine work-up for such patients.Case ReportsWe describe two patients with carcinoma of the gall bladder with osteolytic metastasis (stage 4). Conservative treatment was planned but both of them succumbed to the illness.ConclusionsWe thus highlight the importance of performing a bone scan or PET CT in cases of carcinoma of the gall bladder. Besides, our cases challenge Paget’s seed – soil theory for sites of metastasis.

“…In literature bone metastases from gall bladder cancer have been reported at skull, femur, vertebrae (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum). [6][7][8][9] As reported though skeletal system is a rare site for metastases but any bone may be affected by the disease. Gall bladder malignancy carries a poor prognosis and if metastatic, aim of treatment is palliation of symptoms and quality of life of patient.…”

Sacrum metastasis in carcinoma gall bladder: an unusual presentation

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Disseminated blood-borne metastases from carcinoma of the gall bladder are uncommon and usually occur late. The most common site of extra-abdominal metastasis is lung followed by brain. Skeletal metastases in carcinoma gall bladder are very rare. To date there have only been a few case reports of bone metastasis in carcinoma gall bladder at the time of presentation. Authors here present a rare case of carcinoma gall bladder that progressed to isolated sacrum metastasis.

“…Extra abdominal metastasis involves mostly lungs (9,12,18). Rare sites of metastasis have been reported including bone, brain, skin, orbit, and heart (9,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27).…”

Gallbladder adenocarcinoma has a poor prognostic. The leading modes of dissemination in gallbladder cancer (GBC) are lymphatic, vascular, neural, intraperitoneal, and intraductal. The most common site of dissemination is liver. Breast metastasis in GBC is an unusual site of dissemination. Only few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a rare case of solitary breast metastasis from recurrent gallbladder carcinoma in light of existing literature.
