1 Papillary Carcinomas of the Gallbladder Analysis of Noninvasive and Invasive Types Jorge Albores-Saavedra, MD; Matthew Tuck, BS; Bernadette K. McLaren, MD; Kelley S. Carrick, MD; Donald Earl Henson, MD Context. Although papillary carcinomas have been recognized as distinct morphologic variants of gallbladder neoplasms, they have been lumped together in a single group despite the recognition of noninvasive and invasive types. As a result, the biologic behavior of each type remains undescribed. Objective. To compare the biologic behavior of noninvasive and invasive papillary carcinomas of the gallbladder. Design. The clinical and morphologic features of 16 noninvasive papillary carcinomas ( 1 cm) of the gallbladder were analyzed, and their clinical behavior was compared with that of 370 invasive papillary carcinomas recorded in the Survey Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute from 1973 through The biologic behavior of invasive papillary carcinomas was compared with that of invasive nonpapillary carcinomas of the gallbladder recorded in SEER. Hematoxylin-eosin stained sections were available for review in the 16 noninvasive papillary carcinomas. The number of slides examined per case varied from 3 to 16, with an average of 7. Results. The 16 patients with noninvasive papillary carcinomas included 11 women and 5 men, aged 34 to 83 years (mean age, 61 years). Thirteen patients had cholelithiasis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed on 12 patients and open cholecystectomy on 4. The tumors measured from 1.3 to 8.6 cm and were well to moderately differentiated. Fourteen noninvasive papillary carcinomas showed biliary phenotype, and 2 showed intestinal phenotype. Follow-up was obtained in 11 patients; 6 were asymptomatic 5 to 11 years after surgery, 2 were symptom free 9 months to 4 years following cholecystectomy, and 3 died of unrelated causes 2 to 3 years after surgery. Three hundred seventy cases of invasive papillary carcinomas were recorded in SEER. The 10-year relative survival rate for 225 patients with invasive papillary carcinomas confined to the gallbladder wall was 52%, while the 10-year relative survival rate for 83 patients with papillary carcinomas that had spread to the lymph nodes was less than 10%. Of the remaining 62 invasive papillary carcinomas, 58 had distant metastases and 4 were not staged. The 10- year relative survival rate for invasive nonpapillary carcinomas confined to the gallbladder wall was 30%. Conclusion. Noninvasive papillary carcinomas of the gallbladder regardless of size, cell phenotype, and degree of differentiation do not metastasize, and a simple cholecystectomy appears to be a curative procedure. In contrast, invasive papillary carcinomas do metastasize and are associated with a poor prognosis (10-year relative survival rate for tumors confined to the gallbladder wall was 52%, while the 10-year relative survival rate for tumors with lymph node metastasis was 10%). The separation of papillary carcinomas into noninvasive and invasive types is clinically relevant and therefore fully justified. (Arch Pathol Lab Med. 2005;129: ) Papillary carcinomas are uncommon neoplasms, representing nearly 5% of all malignant gallbladder tumors. 1 Evidence accumulated in the last 20 years indicates that papillary carcinomas of the gallbladder are associated with a better prognosis than conventional nonpapillary carcinomas. 2,3 This relatively favorable prognosis has been attributed to their exophytic growth, delayed invasion into Accepted for publication March 8, From the Departments of Pathology, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Shreveport (Drs Albores-Saavedra and Mc- Laren); The George Washington University Cancer Institute, Washington, DC (Drs Tuck and Henson); and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas (Dr Carrick).

In this study, we examined the clinical and morphologic features of 16 noninvasive papillary carcinomas of the gallbladder and compared their clinical behavior with that of invasive papillary carcinomas recorded in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute from 1973 through MATERIALS AND METHODS The consultation files of one of the authors (J.A.S.) and the surgical pathology files of the University of Texas Southwestern Arch Pathol Lab Med Vol 129, July 2005 Papillary Carcinomas of the Gallbladder Albores-Saavedra et al 905

NOS indicates not otherwise specified. Values in parentheses represent the percentage of the total number of cases (8773) reported from 1973 through Medical Center, Dallas, were searched for cases of noninvasive papillary carcinoma of the gallbladder. Of the 16 cases found, 15 were retrieved from the consultation files, and 1 had been accessioned at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Criteria for including carcinomas in the noninvasive category were (1) predominant ( 80%) papillary architecture, (2) lack of infiltration into the wall of the gallbladder, and (3) tumor size greater than 1.0 cm. The latter feature, although arbitrarily chosen, allowed exclusion of in situ papillary carcinomas, which have similar histologic features but measure only a few millimeters and which are usually incidental microscopic findings. Papillary carcinomas extending along Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses were not considered invasive, even though some tumors were able to reach the serosa by this pathway. Clinicopathologic data, such as age, sex, tumor size, presence of lymph node metastases, and follow-up data, were obtained from pathology reports, referring physicians, and medical records. Routine hematoxylin-eosin stained sections were available in all cases. The number of slides examined per case varied from 3 to 16, with an average of 7. Additional data on invasive papillary and nonpapillary carcinomas (adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, and mucinous adenocarcinoma) of the gallbladder were obtained from the SEER Program of the National Cancer Institute for the years 1973 through The SEER Program, which covers 11 geographic areas, includes 12% of the US population and represents national demographic patterns. Population-based from inception, SEER has accrued data through regional and statewide tumor registries since It contains a comprehensive record of histopathologic diagnoses for patients with cancer. Incidence rates are expressed as per persons and are age-adjusted to the 2000 US census as standard for the population. Histology Codes For submission to the SEER Program, the histologic types were recorded from the pathology reports and coded according to the International Classification of Disease for Oncology. For this study, the morphologic types included adenocarcinoma, not otherwise specified (NOS) (M8140); carcinoma, NOS (M8010); mucinous carcinoma (M8480); adenosquamous carcinoma (M8560); and papillary carcinoma (M8260). Only cases that were microscopically confirmed were included. Cases reported from death certificates only and autopsy cases were excluded. Survival rates were calculated according to the Relative Survival Method 5 using SEER*Stat, which is available on the Internet. 6 Survival rates were compared using the z test, which is a statistical procedure available in SEER*Stat for comparing the relative survival of 2 groups of cases. 7 Differences in survival rates were considered significant at P.05. RESULTS The study group included 11 women and 5 men, ranging in age from 34 to 83 years (mean age, 61 years). Only 1 patient was younger than 40 years. Six patients were Mexican American, 4 were Mexican, 4 were Anglo-Saxon, 1 was Native American, and 1 was African American. Chief complaints at the time of presentation included abdominal pain and weight loss. Thirteen patients had associated cholelithiasis (81%). Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed on 12 patients, and the 4 patients with the largest tumors were treated by traditional open cholecystectomy. Follow-up information was obtained for 11 patients. Six patients were asymptomatic for 5 to 11 years after surgery, 2 were tumor free 9 months to 4 years following cholecystectomy, and the remaining 3 died of unrelated causes (1, 2, and 3 years after surgical treatment). SEER Data From 1973 through 2001, there were 8773 cases of gallbladder cancer, including in situ carcinomas, reported to SEER. The 4 most common nonpapillary types and number of papillary carcinomas reported are listed in the Table. These types comprised 88.8% of all reported cases of gallbladder cancer. Of the 394 cases of papillary carcinoma (Table), 370 were invasive. Of these 370 cases, 225 were localized to the wall of the gallbladder, 83 already had regional lymph node metastases, 58 had distant metastases, and 4 were not staged. Figure 1. Ten-year relative survival rates for invasive papillary and nonpapillary carcinomas of the gallbladder. Nonpapillary carcinomas included a combination of the 4 most common types reported: adenocarcinoma; carcinoma, not otherwise specified; mucinous carcinoma; and adenosquamous carcinoma. All rates were significantly different (P.05). 906 Arch Pathol Lab Med Vol 129, July 2005 Papillary Carcinomas of the Gallbladder Albores-Saavedra et al

Complex papillary architecture in this noninvasive papillary carcinoma (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification 150). In Figure 1, the 10-year relative survival rate of patients with invasive papillary carcinomas is compared with the survival rate of patients with the 4 most common histologic types of nonpapillary carcinomas combined into a single group for calculating outcome. According to Figure 1, there was a statistically significant survival difference between papillary carcinomas localized to the gallbladder and papillary carcinomas that had spread to regional lymph nodes. In addition, there was a significant survival difference between the localized papillary carcinoma and localized nonpapillary carcinoma and between regional papillary carcinoma and regional nonpapillary carcinoma. Similar survival differences were also seen when 10-year outcome was compared among cases of papillary carcinoma and those of adenocarcinoma, NOS only (data not shown). Gross Findings Eight of the noninvasive papillary carcinomas arose in the fundus, 4 in the body, and 1 in the neck of the gallbladder. Three tumors filled most of the lumen and distended the gallbladder (Figures 2 and 3). Their site of origin could not be determined with certainty. The size of the tumors was recorded in 13 cases and varied from 1.3 to 8.6 cm. The tumors were described as pedunculated or sessile polypoid nodules or as cauliflower-like masses projecting into the lumen of the gallbladder. Histologic Findings The tumors exhibited an exophytic, complex papillary architecture with or without gland formation (Figures 4 through 6). Thin villiform and broad papillae of variable sizes frequently branched and contained fibrovascular cores. The cell phenotype was biliary in 14 neoplasms and intestinal in 2 (Figures 7 through 13). Neoplastic glands were confined to the broad fibrovascular cores of 2 papillary carcinomas with intestinal phenotype, whereas formation of cribriform structures along the fibrovascular cores was seen in 2 neoplasms with biliary phenotype. The columnar or cuboidal biliary-type cells were pseudostratified and often contained mucin vacuoles (Figures 7 and 9). They usually showed moderate nuclear enlargement. The nuclei were vesicular or hyperchromatic and had small or prominent nucleoli. Marked nuclear pleomorphism was focal and noted in only 3 tumors (Figure 10). The columnar cells with intestinal phenotype were similar to those of colonic adenocarcinomas (Figure 13). One papillary carcinoma, intestinal type, contained numerous goblet cells admixed with the columnar cells (Figure 12). An inflammatory infiltrate rich in lymphocytes was seen in the broad fibrovascular cores of 4 tumors with biliary phenotype (Figure 11). Mitotic figures varied from 2 to 5 per 10 high-power fields. Three papillary carcinomas extended along Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses and reached the serosa by this pathway but did not show stromal invasion. Originally, however, these tumors were misinterpreted as invasive. Three papillary carcinomas were multicentric and separated by normal gallbladder mucosa, while 2 originated in tubular adenomas, pyloric gland type.

They are most common among Mexican, Mexican American, and Native American women and are usually associated with cholelithiasis. 1 Because of prognostic implications, however, it is crucial to separate papillary carcinomas into noninvasive and invasive types. To include a papillary carcinoma in the noninvasive category, we recommend extensive sampling in view of the fact that some of these tumors can be large enough to fill the entire lumen of the gallbladder, as occurred in 3 of our cases, and invasion into the wall can be a focal change. If possible, the entire tumor should be submitted for microscopic examination. Inadequate sampling can lead to an erroneous diagnosis of noninvasive papillary carcinoma. On the other hand, papillary carcinomas that extend along Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses and reach the muscle layer or serosa by this pathway should not be misinterpreted as invasive. 8 Our results indicate that noninvasive papillary carcinomas, regardless of size, cell phenotype, or extent of differentiation, do not metastasize and are cured by simple cholecystectomy. None of the 11 patients we were able to monitor during the 9 months to 11 years after surgery died as a result of the tumor. The 3 deaths that occurred in this group were unrelated to the tumor. In contrast, the SEER data based on 370 cases of invasive papillary carcinoma confirm its malignant behavior. The 10-year relative survival rate for tumors confined to the wall of the gallbladder was 52%, while the 10-year survival rate for tumors with lymph node metastases was less than 10%. Moreover, invasive papillary carcinomas of the gallbladder have a significantly better prognosis than invasive nonpapillary carcinomas (adenocarcinomas, NOS; carcinomas, NOS; mucinous adenocarcinomas; and adenosquamous carcinomas). The 10-year relative survival rate for nonpapillary carcinomas confined to the wall was 30%. The difference is statistically significant. The papillary architecture appears to reflect a more indolent course in carcinomas of gallbladder. It would be of interest to investigate the molecular abnormalities associated with the noninvasive and the invasive papillary carcinomas to try to explain the difference in biologic behavior and to study this model of neoplastic progression. Histologically, the vast majority of noninvasive papillary carcinomas are well to moderately differentiated and show a biliary phenotype. Similar findings have been reported in noninvasive papillary carcinomas of the extrahepatic bile ducts. 9 The invasive component of papillary carcinomas of the gallbladder is usually tubular and similar to conventional adenocarcinoma. 1 In a small proportion of cases, the invasive component shows undifferentiated or mucinous features. Similar tubular and undifferentiated components have been described in invasive papillary carcinomas of the extrahepatic bile ducts, 10 which have been compared to intraductal papillary mucinous tumors of the pancreas, 11 despite major differences. For example, these pancreatic tumors commonly exhibit a gastrointestinal phenotype and less frequently a biliary phe- 908 Arch Pathol Lab Med Vol 129, July 2005 Papillary Carcinomas of the Gallbladder Albores-Saavedra et al
5 notype. 12,13 Moreover, the invasive component of the intraductal papillary mucinous tumors is usually mucinous, and less frequently tubular, and therefore similar to conventional ductal pancreatic carcinomas. 12 The abundant extracellular mucin, which is the hallmark of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas, is seldom seen in the noninvasive papillary carcinomas of the gallbladder or extrahepatic bile ducts. Papillary carcinomas of the gallbladder join the group of malignant papillary neoplasms with an indolent clinical course that arise in ductal structures or hollow viscera and which are characterized by a noninvasive component that after many years may lead to invasion. Patients with noninvasive tumors have a more favorable prognosis than those with invasive papillary carcinomas whose histologic features differ from those of the noninvasive component. In conclusion, our study supports the idea that papillary carcinomas of the gallbladder should be divided into noninvasive and invasive types. Those that lack an invasive component behave as in situ carcinomas, regardless of size, extent of differentiation, or cell phenotype. In contrast, invasive papillary carcinomas metastasize and are associated with a less favorable outcome. References 1. Albores-Saavedra J, Henson DE, Klimstra D.
