Abstract

The incidence of clear cell carcinoma of gall bladder is very low. The mean age of diagnosis is 60 years. The potential cause of clear cell carcinoma of gall bladder has been shown to be associated with gallstones. It is difficult to determine that clear cell morphology is due to metastasis, notably from clear cell renal cell carcinoma or whether these are primary tumor of the gall bladder. We report a case of clear cell carcinoma of the gall bladder in a 56-year-old female, who presented with abdominal discomfort along with pain and bloating that was aggravated mainly after the meal, with an aim to emphasize the importance of taking an accurate medical history in patients with clear cell carcinoma, a rare malignant tumor of the gall bladder.
