Abstract

A case of primary epidermoid carcinoma of the gallbladder is presented. It is a very rare pathologic process. The likely etiologic association of infestation by Clonorchis Sinensis with the biliary ducts carcinoma is emphasized. We must remark that in our country exist reports of this parasite in the North-East zone, the same place from where the patient came. The clinical picture, as well as in all incipient carcinomas, reassembled a picture of acute cholecystitis; it's pathologic behaviour, because of obvious reasons, is yet impossible to determine. We suppose that surgery was curative, because until eighteen months later the patient was in a good general condition; unfortunately the patient died from a different cause (acute hematemesis due to rupture of esophageal varices).
