Abstract

Primary carcinoid tumor of the gallbladder is a rare neoplasm and usually presents as a polypoid lesion. We report an incidentally found carcinoid tumor of the gallbladder detected in cholecystectomy specimen and located in the cystic duct in a 79-year-old male patient. Histopathologically, a neoplasm measuring 2 mm in maximum diameter, which was grossly unremarkable, was detected in the cystic duct. The tumor formed glandular structures, and not invaded beyond the muscular layer. Immunohistochemically, the tumor was positive for synaptophysin. The patient is alive and well 27 months after diagnosis. Definitive diagnosis of carcinoid tumor of the gallbladder is usually made based on histopathological examination after surgery. Our case is unique in that it was found incidentally and was grossly unremarkable. It seems that surgery alone is a reliable definitive treatment for small carcinoid tumors.

Özet

Safra kesesinin primer karsinoid tümörü nadir bir neoplazmdır. Genellikle polipoid lezyon oluşturur. Bu çalışmada yetmiş dokuz yaşında erkek hastada kolesistektomi materyalinde duktus sistikusta rastlantısal olarak saptanan safra kesesinin karsinoid tümörü sunulmuştur. Histopatolojik olarak duktus sistikusta, en büyük çapı 2 mm. olan, makroskopik olarak görülemeyen bir neoplazm saptandı. Tümör glandüler yapılar oluşturmaktaydı. Kas tabakasını aşan invazyon oluşturmamaktaydı. İmmünhistokimyasal olarak tümör sinaptofizin ile pozitifti. Hasta 27 ay sonunda sağlıklı olarak yaşamaktadır. Safra kesesi karsinoid tümörünün kesin tanısı genellikle cerrahi sonrası histopatolojik inceleme ile konur. Olgumuz makroskopik olarak görülememesi ve rastlantısal olarak saptanması nedeniyle özgündür. Böylesi küçük karsinoid tümörlerde tek başına cerrahinin güvenilir kesin bir tedavi oluşturduğu gözlenmektedir.
