Journal Title: IP Journal of Diagnostic Pathology and Oncology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Gall bladder carcinoma is one of the common cancer of biliary tree which have rapid progression and high mortality rate It is difficult to differentiate early stage of gall bladder carcinoma from chronic cholecystitis as it is mostly asymptomatic It is well accepted that good prognosis and prolonged survival can be achieved only with detection at an early stage Gall bladder specimens removed for clinically benign conditions for histopathological examination has been topic of debate The reference retrospective study was carried out at tertiary care hospital for period of 6 years with objective to identify the incidence of unsuspected gallbladder carcinoma These cholecystectomy specimens received by our histopathology laboratory to analyze their clinicopathological features Incidentally detected gallbladder malignancy cases comprised 087 from a total of 803 case records Most patients were found to be in early surgically resectable stage of their disease We recommend that in India and other countries with relatively high incidences of gall bladder carcinoma all cholecystectomy specimens should be submitted to histopathology laboratory which is in support with current literature It could help us to treat cases at potentially curable stage if detected earlyKeywords Malignant Gall bladder carcinoma Cholecystectomy
