Gallbladder Carcinoma, the Difficulty of Early Detection: A Case Report.

Andrew E Graff1, Stephen L Lewis1, Jonathan R Bear1, David C Van Echo2, Hugh M Dainer3.   

Abstract

Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is an uncommon malignancy with a high mortality rate. Detecting gallbladder carcinoma in its early stages can be difficult, despite improvements in ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) imaging. Most diagnoses of GBC are made at advanced stages, with the majority being found incidentally during surgery for cholelithiasis. The presented case demonstrates the difficulty of diagnosing GBC preoperatively in its early stages.
