Stromal osseous metaplasia in metastatic adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder

Tumori. 1999 Mar-Apr;85(2):133-4.

Abstract

A case of stromal osseous metaplasia in the abdominal scar metastasis of a gallbladder adenocarcinoma is described. The occurrence of stromal osseous metaplasia in carcinomas probably does not affect prognosis; however, it must be recognized to avoid a misdiagnosis of carcinosarcoma.
