Successful treatment of gallbladder mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy

Abstract: Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) carcinomas rarely occur in the gallbladder. Here we reported a case of giant gallbladder unresectable mass with local liver invasion and omentum metastasis, which proved to be neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) by biopsy, received successful radical operation after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy plus somatostatin treatment. The patient showed good response as the neoplasm diminished dramatically and showed clear margin after 6 courses of treatment. A radical operation includi… Show more

“…The quantitative composition of the primary tumour was described in 36 studies (n = 294) [12,15,17,19,21,[23][24][25]27,29,30,34,36,[39][40][41]45,46,[48][49][50][52][53][54]56,57,59,65,73,74,80,82,[84][85][86]92]; the two components were present in equal proportion in 27.9% (n = 82) of cases, whereas in the remaining 72.1% one of the two histologies was predominant; the neuroendocrine component in 42.2% (n = 124), the non-neuroendocrine component in 29.9% (n = 88).…”

“…Interestingly, in 43 studies (n = 61) where more than one diagnostic sample was available [11,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]30,[32][33][34][36][37][38][39][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]49,50,53,55,[59][60][61][62]64,65,96], the initial diagnosis from the first sample collected (either cytological or histological) was in keeping with MiNEN or suspicion of MiNEN in 36.1% (n = 22) of cases, adenocarcinoma in 36.1% (n = 22), poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma in 21.3% (n = 13), and well differentiated neuroendocrine tumour in 6.6% (n = 4).…”

“…In our case, the neuroendocrine component was markedly more aggressive, as it has been frequently published in the literature. 6,16 However, the LCNEC morphology evidenced in this patient is very rare in gallbladder NETs, and more so in biliary MANECs. 17 We think that many of the findings in this particular case, as well as much of the evidence found in the literature to date, favor the metaplasia-dysplasiacarcinoma pathogenic theory for several reasons.…”

“…Included studies. A total of 15 studies (14 case reports and 1 case series), which comprised 19 patients who successfully underwent surgical treatment for gMANEC were considered eligible for inclusion and analysis in our systematic review as shown in Table I (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28).…”
