Gross and macroscopic features of gallbladder in cholecystectomy specimen
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Pathology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The gallbladder is described as having a fundus, body and neck. The neck lies at the medial end close to the portahepatis, and almost always has a short peritoneal-covered attachment to the liver (mesentery); this mesentery usually contains the cystic artery. The mucosa at the medial end of the neck is obliquely ridged, forming a spiral groove continuous with the spiral valve of the cystic duct. Methodology: This is a prospective study undertaken in the Department of Pathology over a period of 2 years. The study mainly included all cholecystectomy specimens received at the Department of Pathology. Results: Among 220 specimens, mucosa appeared velvety in 201 (91.3%). Six specimens (2.7%) showed yellow flecks, five (2.2%) showed necrosis, four (1.8%) showed polyp. One specimen each showed infiltrating growth (0.5%), Phrygian cap (0.5%), multiseptate gallbladder (0.5%) and mucocele (0.5%). Conclusion: Gallbladder was enlarged i.e, >10 cm in length in seven (3.2%) specimens, distorted in 14 (6.4%), contracted in four (1.8%) and normal in size in 195 (88.6%) specimens.
