| Abstract: | A case of stromal osseous metaplasia in the abdominal scar metastasis of a gallbladder adenocarcinoma is described. The occurrence of stromal osseous metaplasia in carcinomas probably does not affect prognosis; however, it must be recognized to avoid a misdiagnosis of carcinosarcoma. |
