Core Tip Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors are relatively common, but gallbladder small cell carcinoma (SCC) is an extremely rare subtype, with limited clinical reports and no established treatment guidelines. Most clinicians manage SCC as gallbladder cancer, yet the 5-year survival rate for early- and mid-stage SCC exceeds 94%, significantly higher than that of typical gallbladder adenocarcinoma. Misdiagnosis and delayed treatment can significantly increase mortality. Due to the rarity of cases, clinicians often lack familiarity with the clinical features and imaging characteristics of gallbladder SCC, leading to diagnostic challenges. This report highlights the importance of timely recognition and radical surgical management to improve outcomes.
