Pure Squamous cell carcinoma of the gall bladder is a rare entity. Here we present a case of 50-yrs-female presented to our hospital with intermittent upper abdominal pain, jaundice, anorexia, weight loss for last 6 months. On ultrasonography it was found that, there was presence of mass measuring (8x7) cm in gall bladder region.
