---

Light micrograph of a haematoxylin and eosin-stained section from a gallbladder cancer. It is an example of a sarcomatoid carcinoma (also called carcinosarcoma) of the gallbladder. The carcinoma component consists of fused glandular structures (dark blue) which surround an area of cartilage (light blue). Cartilage represents heterologous differentiation in this case.
