title: Clear cell carcinoma of the gallbladder. A histological and immunohistochemical study.
abstract: Three cases of malignant clear cell carcinoma of the gallbladder were studied immunohistochemically with a broad panel of antibodies, especially cytokeratins, in order to better characterize their histogenesis. The advantage of immunohistochemistry in the differential diagnosis between clear cell carcinoma of the gallbladder and other clear cell carcinomas metastatic to the gallbladder such as renal cell carcinoma is discussed.
