A case of gallbladder adenocarcinoma with gallstone and calcified parasitic ova of Clonorchis sinensis was described. The patient, a 58-year-old Chinese woman, presented with general malaise and jaundice. The gallbladder contained 3 stones in addition to the cancerous lesion. Microscopically, we saw calcified parasitic ova of Clonorchis sinensis associated with the stones. The relationships between Clonorchis sinensis, stones and adenocarcinoma were discussed.
