ABSTRACT
Neuroendocrine tumor of the gallbladder is a rare gallbladder tumor with aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. Cholelithiasis is the most important risk factor for it. The clinical presentations of most patients are non-specific and vague abdominal pain is the most common initial symptom followed by cholecystitis, with obstructive jaundice, weight loss, ascites, pruritus or palpable mass and occasional associated endocrine manifestations. Surgery remains the main cornerstone for it. In January 2019, in the department of Hepatobiliary, Pancreatic and Liver transplant surgery in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, a 30-year-old female presented with incidental finding of gallbladder mass. Extended cholecystectomy was performed. Histopathology examination revealed small cell neuroectodermal tumor of the gallbladder.
