General

Microscopic

Features:

  • Gallbladder epithelium with:
    • Nuclear atypia - key feature.
      • Nuclear hyperchromasia.
      • Nuclear crowding (pseudostratification) or round enlarged nuclei.
    • +/-Goblet cells.

Architectural subclassification:[2]

  • Papillary ~ 45%.
  • Tubulopapillary ~ 30%.
  • Tubular ~ 25%.

Grading dysplasia

Low grade dysplasia:[4]

  • Surface epithelium changes: hyperchromasia, pseudostratification, elongated nuclei; nuclei stratified/confined mainly to lower aspect of the epithelium.

High grade dysplasia:[4]

  • Diffuse and severe (cytologic) atypia: nuclei no long stratified.
