Abstract

Multiple synchronous primary carcinoma involving gall bladder, liver and common bile duct are rare and difficult to differentiate with hepatic and extrahepatic bile duct metastasis from single primary. Radiological features, molecular landscape, and even integrated mutational profiling are not of much help. We describe a case of 48-year-old male who presented with jaundice and follow up CT scan raised the suspicion of gall bladder carcinoma with hepatic metastasis. Peroperative frozen section examination revealed adenocarcinoma with involvement of cystic duct margin; however revised common duct margin was free from tumor invasion. Final histopathology on resected gall bladder revealed multifocal adenocarcinoma, while histomorphology of hepatic nodule was consistent with cholangiocarcinoma. Common bile duct a one focus had also revealed adenocarcinoma while cut margins were negative form malignancy. In view of different morphology of gall bladder and hepatic tumor, no continuity of three tumors and single large, firm, non umblicated hepatic nodule, diagnosis of multiple synchronous carcinoma was suggested.
