ABSTRACT
Neuroendocrine tumors are the rarest tumors of gallbladder, The most aggressive variant is neuroendocrine carcinoma which presents in about 0.5% of all gallbladder carcinomas and 0.2% of all neuroendocrine tumors. It seems possible that survival rates can be improved by utilizing wide surgical resection combined with chemotherapy. We report a case of neuroendocrine carcinoma of gall bladder in a 20-year old female patient. In present case, the etiology was not known as patient did not have cholelithiasis or any symptoms related to chronic inflammation. Our extensive search of indexed literature shows that our patient was the youngest patient with this disease so far
