Abstract

Background: Gallbladder carcinoma is not an uncommon clinical entity in the Indian scenario, unlike western countries. It is predominantly a disease of females. Therefore, a female especially in forties and fifties with a history of recent onset of constant pain in the right hypochondrium or change in the character of pain should be thoroughly evaluated. Though the association between gallstones and Gallbladder carcinoma is strong. Therefore, every gallbladder should be subjected to routine histopathological examination because with identification of an early gallbladder carcinoma a curative resection may be possible, and these patients have a good survival rate.

Methods: This study is comprising of all patient consecutively admitted for Gall bladder pathology, at Hamidia Hospital, Bhopal, MP during June 2012 to May 2014 on the basis of clinical assessment, USG, FNAC, CT-scan, tumor marker, blood investigation etc.

Results: Present study showed that gallbladder cancer is predominantly a disease of elderly females. Commonly, symptoms are related to associated gallstones. In present study, abdominal pain (91.66%) followed by abdominal mass (79.19%) and anorexia (60.16%). In present study, preoperative imaging of the abdomen (both US and CT) showed the presence of gallstones in 38 (79.16%) cases and a mass in the gallbladder was evident in 44 patients (91.66%).

Conclusions: Though the association between gallstones and Gallbladder carcinoma is strong, the causal relationship between them is not clear. In spite of the advances made in the field of gallbladder imaging, the detection of carcinoma of the gallbladder in early stages remains low.
