|
| ==Overview==
| |
| The pathophysiology of gallbladder cancer depends on the histologic subtypes.
| |
|
| |
| ==Pathological Findings==
| |
| ===Squamous cell gallbladder cancer===
| |
| [[Squamous cell carcinoma|Squamous cell cancers]] develop from the skin-like cells that form the lining of the gallbladder, along with the gland cells.
| |
|
| |
| ===Adenosquamous gallbladder cancer===
| |
| [[Adenosquamous carcinoma|Adenosquamous carcinomas]] are cancers that have both squamous cancer cells and glandular cancer cells.
| |
| ===Small cell cancer of the gallbladder===
| |
| [[Small cell carcinoma|Small cell carcinomas]] are also called [[oat cell carcinoma|oat cell carcinomas]]. They are called this because the cancer cells are a distinctive oat shape.
| |
| ===Gallbladder sarcomas===
| |
| [[Sarcoma]] is the name for a [[cancer]] that affects the supportive or protecting tissues of the body – also called the connective tissues. Muscles, blood vessels and nerves are all connective tissues. A cancer that begins in the muscle layer of the gallbladder is a sarcoma.
| |
| Over 90% of cases of gallbladder cancer are [[adenocarcinoma|adenocarcinomas]].
