Abstract
Malignant neoplasms of the gallbladder and biliary tract are rare in most populations, and this is not a disease with which the average physician is familiar. It usually arises in the fundus (55%) or mid-section (30%), with the remainder arising in the neck of the gallbladder. Histologically, they are usually adenocarcinomas (83–95%), with squamous cell carcinomas accounting for the rest. They usually appear as infiltrative or scirrhous lesions, whereas those that are papillary often are confused with dysplastic adenomas.
