Incidental Gall Bladder Carcinoma - A Rare Case with Review of Literature

Nanda Patil, Devika Borade

Abstract: Gall bladder cancer is a rare and aggressive disease. Incidental gall bladder carcinoma is a gall bladder cancer diagnosed during histopathological examination post cholecystectomy. The incidence of incidental gall bladder carcinoma ranges from 0.2-3.3%. Increasing trend of laparoscopic procedures has made cholecystectomies as common surgical specimens received for histopathological examination. This has led to an increasing trend of detecting incidental gall bladder carcinoma on routine cholecystectomy specimens. We present a case of incidental gall bladder carcinoma in a cholecystectomy specimen in a 50 year old female patient operated for chronic cholecystitis.
