Histopathological Spectrum of Gallbladder lesions in cholecystectomy specimens

Dr. Indrani Bansode, Dr Mukesh Baheti

Abstract :

Background: Gallbladder carcinoma is the most common type of biliary tract carcinoma and is the fifth most common type of digestive tract malignancies.Gallbladder carcinoma does not show defined and specific signs and symptoms. All gallbladder specimens should be examined carefully as significant pathology may be present with normal gross morphology. Cholecystectomy for gall bladder diseases is the most commonly performed surgical procedure. To detect and treat carcinoma of gallbladder to be earlier, the precise relationship between benign lesions of gallbladder and carcinoma needs to be established. Hence present study was undertaken to become familiar with the pathological lesions of the gallbladder.The data was collected from 150 cases of surgically resected cholecystectomy specimens sent in 10% formalin solution. The specimens were examined grossly and processed routinely. Sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin. The gross and histopathological findings examined and noted. Out of 150 cases of which 114 cases were female and 36 cases were male. The Male: Female ratio was 3.1:1 in our study. The most common gallbladder lesion was cholecystitis (94%) and cholesterolosis (4.6%). Benign and malignant tumours were least common (0.7% each). From our study result we conclude that the lesions of gallbladder were common in the 5th decade and showed female predominance. Cholecystitis (94%) was the most common gallbladder lesion. Among epithelial changes in gallbladder lesions, metaplasia (18.7%) was more common than hyperplasia (10.7%). Antral metaplasia was more common than intestinal metaplasia. Spongioid hyperplasia was more commonly observed than papillary hyperplasia and adenomyomatous hyperplasia. Malignant tumours constituted 0.7% of all gallbladder lesions.
