Abstract

A 90 year old woman with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the gall bladder is described. The patient died with tumour metastasis four months after diagnosis despite complete excision of the tumour. The histological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features of the tumour are summarised and published works are reviewed.
