Abstract :

Background– The Adenosquamous Carcinoma is recognized as a rare histological subtypes of Adenocarcinoma of Gallbladder, where squamous component of tumor constituted 25–99% of tumor . The incidence of Adenosquamous Carcinoma is approximately 5% of Gallbladder malignancy. The overall five year survival rate of Adenosquamous Carcinoma is less than 5% with a median survival of less than 6 months ( worser than Adenocarcinoma of Gallbladder). Adenosquamous Carcinoma have aggressive biological behavior due to their potential for direct extension into the Liver and neighbouring structures.

Case Report– We present here a rare case of Adenosquamous Carcinoma of Gallbladder Stage IV in a 64–year–old woman who presented with right upper abdominal pain and Patient was diagnosed as Gallbladder perforation with cholecystocolic fistula. Cholecystectomy with Right hemicolectomy was performed and specimen of Gallbladder, Intestine and appendix was received in our Department of Pathology Dr S N Medical college Jodhpur for Histopathological examination.

Conclusion– Adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor having aggressive biological behaviour. Reporting this rare malignant tumor ads to the literature and helps in better understanding the biological nature and pathological characteristics of this rare tumor.
