Abstract
Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the gallbladder also called carcinosarcoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy, with fewer than 100 cases documented in the literature. It comprises malignant epithelial and sarcomatous components, sometimes with heterologous sarcomatous elements. In general, conservative treatments are thought to be unfavourable to the tumor. The prognosis is generally poor, characterized by rapid progression and a high rate of short-term recurrence. Definitive diagnosis depends on histopathological examination.
