Abstract
Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gallbladder is an extremely rare tumour with aggressive behaviour and a bad prognosis. Here, we report a case of a 65-year-old lady suspected of carcinoma of the gallbladder and underwent extended cholecystectomy. The histopathology report revealed neuroendocrine carcinoma of a large cell type of gall bladder infiltrating the liver and three periportal and pericholedochal lymph nodes. She had an uneventful perioperative period and was doing good till 6 months of follow-up. The only potentially curative treatment for large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gallbladder is aggressive surgical resection, owing to its aggressive behaviour and bad prognosis. KEYWORDS: carcinoma; case reports; cholecystectomy; gallbladder.
