We report herein the rare case of a 40-year-old woman with a 10-year history of dull abdominal pain, in whom a carcinoid tumor of the gallbladder was confirmed by postoperative histological findings. A review of the world literature revealed that only 22 other such cases have been documented, all of which were diagnosed by incidental findings at the time of surgery or at post mortem. Although these patients may present with liver metastasis, rarely do they manifest with features of a carcinoid syndrome. The rarity of this entity prompted us to present our patient's case report, followed by a brief review of the literature on the previous 22 cases.
我们在此报告一例罕见病例，一名40岁女性，有10年的腹部隐痛病史，术后组织学检查结果证实为胆囊类癌肿瘤。对世界文献的回顾显示，仅有另外22例此类病例被记录在案，所有这些病例均在手术时或尸检时偶然发现而确诊。尽管这些患者可能出现肝转移，但很少表现出类癌综合征的特征。这种实体的罕见性促使我们呈现我们患者的病例报告，随后对之前22例病例的文献进行简要回顾。
