ABSTRACT
Small cell carcinoma of the gall bladder is a very rare tumor. The neoplasm is highly lethal, metastasizes early, and may cause death shortly after diagnosis. Here we report a 56 year old male with small cell carcinoma of the gall bladder metastatic to the liver. He attained partial remission with 5 fluouracil, cisplatin based chemotherapy. However, the disease progressed after 3 months and salvage chemotherapy with docetaxel and caboplatin failed to produce any tumour response. He succumbed to the illness 13 months after cholecystectomy.
