“…The lesion was located on the peritoneal side, i.e., away from the liver bed. Sections from this area revealed collections of loosely arranged plump cells with the features of rhabdoid cells, which showed the typical eccentric, paranuclear positivity for vimentin (Suri et al 2003). A second case of gallbladder carcinoma with a rhabdoid component, but associated with sarcomatoid features, was reported in a 61-year-old female patient.…”

The hepatobiliary tract is the site of an intriguing group of malignancies occurring in several other organs, extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma. In contrast to its bronchopulmonary counterpart, extrapulmonary small cell carcinomas occur with similar rates in female and male patients. With the exception of the gallbladder, the biliary tract is very rarely involved. Small cell carcinomas of the hepatobiliary tract belong to several categories, i.e., neuroendocrine type, mixed type, non-neuroendocrine type, and not otherwise specified types. Small cell carcinomas are highly aggressive neoplasms. Diagnosis and classification require immunohistochemical and molecular methods. Poorly differentiated or undifferentiated carcinomas of the bile ducts also include spindle cell carcinoma and carcinomas with rhabdoid features. Unusual neoplasms primary to the bile ducts also comprise hepatoid carcinoma and solid pseudopapillary tumor, a neoplasm better known from the pancreas.

“…Malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumors are well known to occur in the gastrointestinal tract and the liver, but are very uncommon in the biliary tract. The gallbladder is probably the least common primary site, with only few cases reported so far (Kim et al 2003;Suri et al 2003). In one case, the tumor was found in a 46-year-old man who had been operated on for cholelithiasis with chronic cholecystitis.…”

The gallbladder is involved by a wide variety of non-epithelial tumors, apart from mesenchymal neoplasms. Visceral malignant melanoma develops in the biliary tract, including the gallbladder. As both primary and metastatic gallbladder melanomas may show similar of the same growth patterns, the differential diagnosis between these two conditions is often difficult. Primary gallbladder melanoma is more likely if the tumor shows a polypoid or lobulated and in particular papillary growth pattern, is a solitary lesion, and is associated with junctional activity in the adjacent mucosa. In contrast, metastatic lesions are more commonly multiple, flat, and without junctional changes. Apart from neuroendocrine tumors, other neuroectodermal neoplasms can develop as primary tumors in the gallbladder. Rare primary neoplasms in this organ include germ cell tumors, rhabdoid tumors, perivascular epithelioid cell tumors, and hemolymphatic neoplasms. Apart from malignant melanoma, numerous other malignancies can metastasize to the gallbladder, renal cell carcinoma being a particularly common metastasizing tumor. Malignant Melanoma of the Gallbladder Pathogenic Pathways Few melanocytes are present in the normal gallbladder mucosa, and it has been suggested that malignant melanomas take their origin from these cells that have spread from the neural crest to the gallbladder during oncogenesis. Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor (PNET) of the Gallbladder Differential Diagnosis Differential diagnosis on conventionally stained sections mainly includes other small cell tumors occurring in the gallbladder, e.g., small cell carcinoma or lymphoma. Differential Diagnosis Gallbladder paraganglioma may occur as a component of multiple paragangliomas, involving the common bile duct and the liver in addition to the gallbladder (Ferrell et al. 1990).
