✦ Synopsis

A prospective study of 277 cholecystectomy specimens for evidence of isolated epithelial dysplasia of gallbladder mucosa is presented. In addition, 15 cases of primary adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder are retrospectively reviewed with particular reference to the presence of metaplasia and dysplasia adjacent to the infiltrating tumor, in order to establish the relationship between metaplasia, isolated epithelial dysplasia, and adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder. Only one case of isolated epithelial dysplasia was found in the 277 cholecystectomy specimens, and this arose within focal incomplete intestinal metaplasia. In the 15 cases of adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder, benign antral and/or incomplete intestinal metaplasia was found adjacent to the tumor in 11 cases. In 10 cases, dysplasia of this metaplastic epithelium was found in continuity with the tumor. The authors conclude that the most common pathway to adenocarcinoma is via dysplasia of metaplastic gallbladder epithelium.

The review of the English literature indicates that only 35 colorectal adenocarcinomas measuring S 1 cm in diameter hav

## Abstract Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach is a highly malignant neoplasm. Most gastric hepatoid adenocarcinomas coexist with tubular adenocarcinoma. However, the relationship between hepatoid adenocarcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma is still unclear. In the present study, the characterist

A case of adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder associated with acanthosis nigricans and the sign of Leser-Trelat is presented. The significant underrepresentation of adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder in association with malignant acanthosis nigricans is noted. If malignant acanthosis nigricans is cause
