A 51-year-old male patient presented with pain in the upper right quadrant of abdomen since two months, associated with weight loss and fever. Contrast enhanced computed tomography abdomen revealed gallbladder with wall thickening which was asymmetric and heterogeneous at junction of body. An initial diagnosis of cholecystitis with element of cholangitis and abnormal wall thickening with multiple tiny calculi was considered. Open radical cholecystectomy was done. Microscopic and immunohistochemical findings established the diagnosis of moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder. Adjuvant chemotherapy regimen consisting of paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC 6 was given three weekly for six cycles in the present case. Six months after treatment completion, patient is on regular follow up and disease free on clinical and radiological examination.
