Abstract

Primary pure squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder is a rare neoplasm whose etiology and pathophysiology are incompletely understood. Here is a case of a 68-year-old female patient, who presented a clinical picture characterized by crampy pain in right hypochondrium, accompanied by nausea, vomiting and unquantified fever, diagnostic tests was performed but it was not so conclusive, for this reason, cholecystectomy was ordered and this revealed a primary pure squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder, macro and microscopic study revealed an increased volume of the organ that was associated with a distortion of normal architecture, replaced by diffuse infiltrative tumor. This variant of carcinoma is not common, so is reported this case, besides the clinical difficulties generated by the diagnosis. (MÉD.UIS. 2012;25(2):145-8).
