| Abstrakt: | Carcinoma of the gallbladder is an uncommon malignancy with a poor prognosis overall. Histologically, adenocarcinoma is the most common type of gallbladder carcinoma. Adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare histological type of gallbladder carcinoma comprising both the glandular and squamous elements. Adenosquamous carcinoma shows more aggressive behavior than adenocarcinomas and is often detected in a late advanced stage. Treatment is usually extended surgical resection but has a poor prognosis. We present a rare case of adenosquamous carcinoma with lymphovascular invasion in a 72-year-old male who was managed with extended cholecystectomy.
