Abstract
A case of carcinoma with lympoid stroma of the gallbladder is presented. Carcinoma of this type in the breast or the stomach is specified under the designation of carcinoma with lymphoid stroma or infiltration because of a relatively favorable prognosis. The characteristic morphological features are described and the significance of prognostic favorability is discussed together a short review of the literature. This seems to be the first documentation of such a case.
