Gallbladder cancer accounts for 80-95% of biliary system malignancies, even though it is the fifth most frequent gastrointestinal tract cancer and the most common biliary tract malignancy.A delayed diagnosis allows this cancer to spread silently.Consequently, prompt diagnosis is essential.American Indians have an abnormally high incidence, Southeast Asians have an elevated incidence, and the prevalence is relatively low in other parts of the Americas and the world.Environmental triggers, such as cholelithiasis, chronic inflammation from the biliary tract, and parasite infections, are essential factors in gallbladder cancer's growth.Over the past ten years, advances in radical, aggressive surgery and Imaging methods have produced better results and extended survival times for gallbladder cancer patients.We report an unusual case of a 74-year-old female patient who had a lap cholecystectomy and was admitted from the outpatient clinic due to a severely inflamed gallbladder.An ultrasound shows that the gallbladder has many stones.Gallbladder cancer patients who received R0 curative resection had an overall survival rate over five years of 21% to 69%.One of the uncommon forms of gallbladder cancer that our patients have is sarcoma, a cancer that affects connective tissues, which includes blood vessels, muscles, and nerves.The rarity of gallbladder sarcoma is shown in this case.Sadly, it is difficult to diagnose this cancer early, and in most cases that have been documented, the tumor was discovered to be progressed when it was discovered.
