Definitions and Explanatory Notes
1 Epithelial Tumours
1.1 Benign
1.1.1 Adenoma
A benign neoplasm of glandular epithelium which is typically polypoid
and well demarcated.
Microscopically, adenomas are divided into three types: tubular,
papillary and tubulopapillary. The epithelium is cuboidal or colum-
nar, mucus-secreting and with at least mild dysplasia. Rarely, adeno-
mas consist of glands lined by colonic-like epithelium and small
groups of Paneth cells. In these adenomas a variable number of en-
docrine cells can be demonstrated by silver stains and immunocyto-
chemistry. These cells contain serotonin and/or peptide hormones.
Adenomas of the gallbladder and extrahepatic bile ducts are usually
solitary, measuring less than 2 em in diameter. Approximately one-
third, however, are multiple. Rarely, they are so numerous that they
fill the lumen of the gallbladder. In the gallbladder they are usually
asymptomatic whereas in the extrahepatic bile ducts they often cause
obstruction. Adenomas are either pedunculated or sessile. Fewer than
50% are associated with cholelithiasis. Occasionally, adenomas occur
in association with Gardner syndrome or with Peutz-Jeghers syn-
drome.
1.1.1.1 Tubular Adenoma (Figs. 1-4)
A well-demarcated benign tumour composed predominantly of closely
packed, short tubular glands lined by cuboidal or columnar epithelial
cells most of which are mucus-secreting.
The majority of glands are small, although some may be dilated
or cystic. In some adenomas the glands are similar to the metaplastic
pyloric glands often seen in cases of chronic cholecystitis. Foci of
squamoid spindle cells are occasionally noted. Less frequently there

1.3 Malignant
2 Endocrine Tumours
3 Non-epithelial Tumours
3.1 Benign
3.1.2 Ganglioneurofibromatosis
Ganglioneurofibromatosis of the gallbladder is a component of the
type lIb multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome. The histological
changes consist of Schwann cell and ganglion cell proliferation in the
lamina propria as well as enlarged and distorted nerves in the muscle
layer and subserosa. Sporadic ganglioneurofibromatosis is exceeding-
ly rare in the gallbladder.
3.2 Malignant
4 Miscellaneous Tumours
5 Unclassified Tumours
6 Secondary Tumours
Metastatic tumours in the gallbladder and extrahepatic bile ducts are
not common. They are often discovered at autopsy. The majority re-
sult from transcoelomic spread and are associated with peritoneal
carcinomatosis. Blood-borne metastases may be symptomatic and
simulate primary tumours. The more common are malignant melano-
ma and carcinomas of the kidney, lung, breast and oesophagus. The
gallbladder and extrahepatic bile ducts may be involved by direct ex-
tension from carcinomas of the pancreas, stomach, colon and liver
(Fig. 80).
7 Tumour-like Lesions
7.12 Malacoplakia
A tumour-like lesion composed of sheets of macrophages, lymphocytes
and plasma cells. The macrophages usually have a granular eosinophilic
cytoplasm and typically contain laminated calcified microspherules (Mi-
chaelis-Guttmann bodies).
tion. Many cases are associated with chronic ulcerative colitis. Pri-
mary sclerosing cholangitis usually extends into the gallbladder and
into the liver. Changes similar to those of primary sclerosing cholan-
gitis may occur as a result of chronic extrahepatic biliary obstruction,
bacterial cholangitis, choledocholithiasis, congenital cysts or follow-
ing the intravascular injection of some anticancer drugs (secondary
sclerosing cholangitis).
