ABSTRACT
We report the case of a patient with an incidental diagnosis of gallbladder adenocarcinoma with chondrosarcomatoid areas in a cholecystectomy specimen. Since it is associated with a worse prognosis when compared to usual carcinoma, we need to understand this entity to offer our patients a better treatment.

Los tumores germinales suelen aparecer en niñas o en mujeres jóvenes y tener un crecimiento muy rápido. Presentamos un caso de un tumor germinal de tipo yolk sac gigante que apareció en una paciente perimenopaúsica sin otros antecedentes de interés. Actualmente el pronóstico de estos tumores es muy bueno; se pueden conseguir remisiones completas gracias a la cirugía radical y a la poliquiometarapia (AU)
Germ cell tumours usually occur in girls or young women and have a very rapid growth. We present a case of germ cell tumour, type giant "yolk sac", that appeared in a perimenopausal patient with no other relevant history. Currently, the prognosis of these tumours has improved and complete remission can be obtained after radical surgery and polychemotherapy (AU)
