The presence of intestinal epithelial metaplasia and endocrine cells was investigated in the mucosa of gallbladder carcinoma. The material consisted of 38 gallbladder carcinomas, all confined to the wall of gallbladder. Areas of intestinal metaplasia within the tumor were found in 25 cases, and those in the mucosa surrounding the tumor were also found in 25 cases. Somatostatin-immunoreactive cells within the tumor were detected in 6 cases, and those outside the tumor in 8 cases. Gastrin-immunoreactive cells within the tumor were detected in none, and those outside the tumor in 5 cases. It seems difficult t oclarify the significance of intestinal metaplasia for the evolution of gallbladder carcinoma from analysis merely of the incidence of intestinal metaplastic changes within or outside the cancerous foci.
