Gallbladder Adenocarcinoma Associated with Small Cell Tumor Neuroendocrine Collision Tumor: A Rare Case in the Literature and Review

Abstract

Gallbladder cancer is rare, accounting for 0.5% of all cancers in the developing world. Even more so are bile duct collision tumors. We present the case of a 54-year-old female with a histopathological diagnosis of a collision tumor consisting of adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder and small cell neuroendocrine tumor of the gallbladder and bile duct. We review the available literature on collision tumors in general and in the bile duct, their diagnosis and treatment.
