Abstract

The gallbladder is involved by a wide variety of non-epithelial tumors, apart from mesenchymal neoplasms. Visceral malignant melanoma develops in the biliary tract, including the gallbladder. As both primary and metastatic gallbladder melanomas may show similar of the same growth patterns, the differential diagnosis between these two conditions is often difficult. Primary gallbladder melanoma is more likely if the tumor shows a polypoid or lobulated and in particular papillary growth pattern, is a solitary lesion, and is associated with junctional activity in the adjacent mucosa. In contrast, metastatic lesions are more commonly multiple, flat, and without junctional changes. Apart from neuroendocrine tumors, other neuroectodermal neoplasms can develop as primary tumors in the gallbladder. Rare primary neoplasms in this organ include germ cell tumors, rhabdoid tumors, perivascular epithelioid cell tumors, and hemolymphatic neoplasms. Apart from malignant melanoma, numerous other malignancies can metastasize to the gallbladder, renal cell carcinoma being a particularly common metastasizing tumor.
