Abstract
Gallbladder carcinoma is the 5th most common gastrointestinal cancer. Gallbladder cancer preferentially metastasizes to regional lymph nodes and liver parenchyma. Bone metastases from gallbladder carcinoma are rare presentation. We report a case of gallbladder carcinoma with solitary metastasis to femur bone with surrounding soft tissue involvement, mimicking as soft tissue tumour involving bone.
