Pure squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of gallbladder is a very rare tumour and is responsible for only 3% of the malignant neoplasm of this organ. We report a case of SCC of gallbladder in a 58-year-old woman. Through this new observation, we propose to study the clinicopathologic features, pathogeny and treatment of this rare entity.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is widely recognized for its broad spectrum of toxic effects and is classified as a potential human carcinogen, placed in group 2B by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Its presence in food and beverages poses a significant health hazard. Extensive research has documented the efficient absorption and distribution of OTA throughout the body via the bloodstream and tissues, underscoring the associated health risk.

SummarySquamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an uncommon and frequently aggressive subtype of gallbladder cancer known for its poor outcomes compared with other gallbladder tumours. Gallbladder SCC typically presents as higher grade and more advanced than adenocarcinoma, resulting in lower estimated survival. Early recognition of these tumours is ideal, but infrequently achieved.

Background: Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD; OMIM 250100 and 249900) is a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by deficient arylsulfatase A activity, leading to accumulation of sulfatides in the nervous system. This systematic literature review aimed to explore the effect of MLD on the lives of patients.
Methods: The Ovid platform was used to search Embase, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library for articles related to the natural history, clinical outcomes, and burden of illness of MLD; congress and hand searches were performed using 'metachromatic leukodystrophy' as a keyword.

Small-cell carcinoma (SCC) of the gallbladder is a rare and distinctive clinicopathological entity, characterized by its aggressive nature with early metastasis and a poor prognosis. We present a rare case of a 53-year-old female who came with a perforated gall bladder and was later diagnosed with SCC. This report details how the patient was managed preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively.

Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the liver is quite rare, and to our knowledge, very few cases have been reported in the literature. The exact pathogenesis of the disease is unestablished; however, it is mostly reported to be associated with hepatic cyst, Caroli's disease, hepatolithiasis, hepatic cirrhosis, and hepatic teratoma. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman with no prior medical history initially, who presented with postprandial epigastric and right upper quadrant pain that continued to worsen and was associated with early satiety, nausea, and weight loss of 25 pounds over 2 months, which prompted further evaluation by her primary care physician.
