Gall Bladder Carcinoma: Computed Tomographic Findings in 50 cases
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: Gall bladder carcinoma (GBC) is diagnosed late and is twice as common among women in the gangetic belt of north India. GBC are most commonly associated with cholelithiasis. Mortality rate is very high with 5 year survival rate at 5%. Aim and Method: Here we assess retrospectively with computed tomography (CECT) scan imaging findings in histopathologically proven cases of GBC to review the most relevant findings associated with gallbladder cancer. This study included 50 patients presented to us during the period from November 2016 till May 2017 and underwent ultrasonography followed by computed tomographic imaging using contrast and triphasic CECT. Result: 28 patients had an infiltrating mass infiltrating into the liver or adjacent bowel. 16 patients presented with focal or diffuse intraluminal mass and mural thickening of the gall bladder was detected in 6 patients. Conclusion: CECT is the diagnostic modality of choice for detecting, evaluating and characterizing the lesion.
