Carcinoid is a tumour with the ability to produce bioactive amines and polypeptides, most frequently serotonin. Typical symptoms include diarrhoea and facial flush. Carcinoid of the gallbladder is very uncommon, and only about 40 cases of that particular tumour location have been reported in the literature worldwide. Herein we describe a case of a 52-year-old patient who underwent cholecystectomy for chronic cholecystitis caused by gallstones. As the patient presented no symptoms of carcinoid, diagnosis was made on histopathological examination. The patient has been living for 10 years after cholecystectomy now, free from tumour recurrence, as confirmed by follow-up examination.
