Abstract

An 82-year-old male with a gallbladder mass was diagnosed with gallbladder carcinoma through various examinations. Cholecystectomy, gallbladder bed resection, and lymph node dissection were performed. The histological examination revealed a gallbladder adenosquamous carcinoma, and this tumor showed positive staining for granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). Recurrence of multiple liver metastases was detected on 25th day postoperatively. Unfortunately, the patient died on 97th day postoperatively. Here, we report a case of G-CSF-producing adenosquamous carcinoma of the gallbladder with rapid recurrence of liver metastases in the early postoperative period.
