Squamous cell cancers develop from the skin-like cells that form the lining of the gallbladder, along with the gland cells.  Doctors treat these cancers in the same way as adenocarcinomas.
 
===Adenosquamous gallbladder cancer===
 
Adenosquamous carcinomas are cancers that have both squamous cancer cells and glandular cancer cells.  Your doctor may call this a 'mixed histology'.  Doctors treat these cancers in the same way as adenocarcinomas.
 
===Small cell cancer of the gallbladder===
 
Small cell carcinomas are also called 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.
