13 patients with the gallbladder cancer diagnosed by ultrasound in which 6 patients received CT scanner, these images compared with the operational results and pathological anatomy. The gallbladder cancer occurred most frequently in the elderly and had the poor prognosis. The ultrasound showed the unfair thickness of gallbladder wall (66.7%) rough tumor from the posterior wall to gallbladder

Malignant mesenchymalneoplasms of the gallbladder are extremely rare with only 105 cases of primary gallbladder sarcoma having been described. It has a very aggressive behavior and is usually diagnosed at advanced stages. Therefore, curative surgical management may not be possible. We performed a radical cholecystectomy (S4b + S5 segmentectomy), omentectomy and small bowel resection in a 54-year-old patient with locally invasive leiomyosarcoma of the gallbladder. Further studies are needed to confirm the benefit of aggressive treatment for patients with leiomyosarcoma of the gallbladder.

Primary gallbladder cancer is a highly malignant tumor and is characterized by early metastasis and rapid progression of disease. Since the majority of patients have unresectable disease, laparotomy, instead of providing relief of symptoms, often adds to the morbidity and needs to be avoided in patients with advanced disease. Clinical features, peritoneoscopic findings, and comparison of peritoneoscopy with radiologic studies were reviewed in 29 patients, who underwent peritoneoscopy, with primary gallbladder cancer at Severaace Hospital, College of Medicine, Yonsei University between Aug. 1982 and Mar. 1994.

PURPOSE: We evaluated the correlation between clinicopathologic features and p53, c-erbB-2 and Ki-67 protein expression in gallbladder carcinoma. METHODS: From Jan. 1994 to July 1999, thirty-four cases of gallbladder carcinoma were enrolled in this study and their clinicopathologic findings were analyzed. We performed p53, c-erbB-2, and Ki-67 immunohistochemical staining on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded histological sections with an antibody. RESULTS: The rate of overexpression of p53, c-erbB-2, and Ki-67 protein in gallbladder carcinoma was 47.1%, and 70.6%, 55.9%, respectively. The five year patient survival rate was significantly correlated only with tumor stage; the rate being 64.7% (P=0.031) with p53-negative tumors and 59.0% (P=0.023) with c-erbB-2-positive tumors. CONCLUSION: Progressively increasing incidence of p53, c-erbB-2 and Ki-67 protein overexpression was observed in gallbladder carcinoma patients. Although this study found no correlation between the molecular markers and survival, further study will be needed to evaluate the significance of p53, c-erbB-2 and Ki-67 proteins as prognostic factors.
