      Case 1. Postoperative cut-opened specimen of the liver from extended cholecystectomy showing nodular lesions (black arrows) showing liver metastases from the primary small cell carcinoma neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gallbladder.

      Case 1. Small cell neuroendocrine tumor. a The tumor is composed of poorly differentiated oval to polygonal cells with hyperchromatic nuclei (H&E stain. ×100). b Tumor cells show pleomorphic nuclei with mitotic activity (H&E. ×400). c CK7 positivity in the tumor cells. d Synaptophysin positivity in the tumor cells. e CK7 positivity in the metastatic carcinoma in the lymph node. f MIB-1 proliferation in the tumor cells.

      Case 2. a Gallbladder NET polyp. b Tumor infiltrating the muscularis mucosa. c Tumor cells in cords and nests in high power. d Positive immunohistochemistry for synaptophysin in low power. e Positive immunohistochemistry for chromogranin in low power. f MIB-1 labeling index 1–2% in high power.
