ABSTRACT

Gallbladder carcinoid tumor is a very rare neoplasm, usually lacking specific symptoms. In most instances, gallbladder carcinoid tumors are incidentally found after a cholecystectomy for other gallbladder disorders or on postmortem autopsies. We are presenting a case of a 68 years old male patient with a carcinoid tumor of the gall bladder with liver involvement. Patient presented with signs and symptoms of acute cholecystitis. Conservative treatment was done. Investigations were done for the patient and surgery was performed as elective open cholecystectomy 6 weeks later. Multiple liver nodules were found during surgery, biopsy material was taken from these nodules and send for histopathology in addition to the removed gall bladder.
