Incidental Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Gallbladder

Abstract

Gallbladder cancer is rare and adenocarcinoma usually seen. Neuroendocrine carcinomas are rare in malignancies. Generally diagnosis is not made in the pre-operative period. They are generally diagnosed after cholecystectomy through hystopathological examination. In this type of tumors primary treatment is surgical and cure can only be through a complete surgical resection. The histopathological examination of the neuroendocrine carcinoma after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient wanted to present the report. This is about the treatment of cancers, certain drugs used for chemotherapy after surgery. The patient's 32-month follow-up of any problems encountered.

Incidental Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Gallbladder

Öz

Safra kesesi kanserleri nadir görülür ve genellikle adenokarsinomdur. Nöröendokrin karsinomlar maligniteler içinde nadirdir. Genellikle ameliyat öncesi dönemde tanı konulamaz. Kolesistektomiden sonra histopatolojik incelemeyle saptanırlar. Bu tümörlerde primer tedavi cerrahidir ve kür şansını sadece tam bir cerrahi rezeksiyon sağlar. Laparoskopik kolesistektomi sonrası histopatolojik incelemede nöroendokrin karsinom rapor edilen bir hastayı sunmak istedik. Cerrahi sonrası tedavide kemoterapotik ilaçlar uygulandı. Hastanın 32 aylık takiplerinde herhangi bir problemle karşılaşılmadı
