Neoplasms of the gallbladder are relatively rare and their preoperative diagnosis that much rarer; leiomyosarcoma of the gallbladder is one of the most infrequent types. The authors had the opportunity to diagnose such a neoplasm preoperatively (although the histological diagnosis was not made). The ultrasound and computed tomographic appearance has not been published before. Leiomyosarcoma showed a dilated gallbladder with an irregularly thickened wall and a polypoid protrusion into the lumen.

Introduction: The gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor in the digestive tract. Currently, GIST is the name given to CD117 positive mesenchymal tumors, primary of the digestive tract, mesentery, and retroperitoneum. Nevertheless, they have been reported in the mesentery, omentum, gallbladder, bladder wall, and few cases in the uterus; known as extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGIST).

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) of the gallbladder is an extremely rare entity. Most reported cases were mistakenly diagnosed preoperatively as cholecystitis with or without cholelithiasis. We believe that our article demonstrates the 5 case of gallbladder LMS that was suspected preoperatively to be malignant rather than cholecystitis, which fortunately led to radical resection of the tumor instead of simple cholecystectomy.

Background: Carcinosarcoma of the liver is a very rare tumor composed of a mixture of carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements. Less than 25 adequately documented cases have been reported, with inadequate description of imaging features. In order to improve the awareness of this rare tumor, this study aimed to analyze the clinicopathologic and imaging features of six cases of hepatic carcinosarcoma (HCS) confirmed by surgical pathologic evaluation.
