Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: Carcinoma gallbladder is a major problem in India. In this retrospective study from the tertiary care centre of the north-east India, we aim to review the various Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) imaging findings of gallbladder carcinoma. Methods: We retrospectively analysed MDCT findings in 65 biopsy proven cases of gallbladder carcinoma. After administration of oral contrast for bowel opacification, all patients were subjected to non-contrast scan of the upper abdomen followed by contrast enhanced study of the abdomen and pelvis in the portal venous phase. Results: Focal mass lesion arising from gallbladder was the predominant pattern of growth seen in 31(48%) patients followed by focal or asymmetric diffuse wall thickening in 28(43%) patients. Twelve (18%) patients had mass in gallbladder fossa replacing the gall bladder. Adjacent hepatic infiltration was seen in 48(74%) patients. Conclusion: Our study highlights the importance of MDCT for the diagnosis, characterisation and staging of gallbladder carcinoma.
