[Squamous carcinoma of the gallbladder. Anatomo-clinical study of a case with reference to oncogene expression].
Squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder is a rare tumor with an ill-defined clinical course. We report a case of pure squamous carcinoma of the gallbladder with a rapidly fatal outcome. The tumor cells were positive for oncogenes P53, c-Erb B2 and Ki 67. This feature has no comparison with other reported cases of squamous carcinoma of the gallbladder but it is in accordance with oncogene expression in adenocarcinomas.
