Abstract
Three cases of malignant clear cell carcinoma of the gallbladder were studied immunohistochemically with a broad panel of antibodies, especi ally cytokeratins, in order to better characterize their histogenesis. The advantage of immunohistochemistry in the differential diagnosis b etween clear cell carcinoma of the gallbladder and other clear cell ca rcinomas metastatic to the gallbladder such as renal cell carcinoma is discussed.
