Abstract
Introduction Gall bladder diseases are a cause of great concern Cholelithiasis has troubled humanity since long and has been a common disease worldwide They are among the most common gastrointestinal conditions presenting with acute pain in abdomen Gall stone disease is usually common among middle aged females who are fertile and fattyMaterials and Methods The present study was conducted in in the Department of Pathology of a tertiary care teaching Institute of Western Uttar Pradesh The study period was one year October 2015September 2016 with a sample size of 500 cases Gross examination of gall bladder was done in the department and sections from representative areas were taken for microscopic examination Special stains were used as and when required Statistical analysis was carried out to assess the significance of various risk factors and mucosal changes in different age groups and gendersResults of the total 500 cases 441882 were females and 591180 were males Maximum cases of gall bladder disease were in the age group of 3140 years in both the sexes Amongst all lesions 394 788 patients had gallstones and 106 212 were acalculous Majority of the gall stones were of mixed type in 310 7869 cases The commonest pathological mucosal changes observed included chronic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis in 250 625 cases 50 cases each in the premalignant and malignant category were observedConclusion Gall bladder diseases are most commonly seen in females Majority of cases were of chronic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis Gall stones mainly injure the mucosal columnar epithelium leading to changes such as metaplasia dysplasia or neoplasia Knowledge of nonneoplastic as well as preneoplastic conditions is important especially since they cause significant morbidity or even mortalityKeywords Gallbladder Cholecystectomy Stones Carcinoma
