Abstract
Gallbladder cancers are recognised common tumours of the gastrointestinal system. Histologically, almost all of them are adenocarcinomas. Previously, only two cases of signet-ring cell carcinoma of the gallbladder have been published, and little is known about the disease. Here, we present the case of a 76-year-old man with signet cell carcinoma of the gallbladder. Despite radical surgery, followed by 5-fluorouracil infusion chemotherapy, our patient died within 3 months. Advanced information may help to improve the prognosis of this tumour.Entities:
