Background & objective: Ultrasonogram (USG) and computed tomography (CT) are often used in the evaluation of gall-bladder carcinoma. Thepresent study was conducted to determine the usefulness of USG and CT scan in diagnosing gallbladder carcinoma.Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at Department of Radiology and Imaging, BIRDEM in collaboration with the Departments of Hepato-biliary Surgery, and Histopathology of the same institute over a period of 3 years fromJuly 2004 to June 2006. A total of 42 patients (ranging from 40-80 years) were initially included on the basis of signs and symptoms of gallbladder carcinoma and underwent USG and CT scan for preoperative radiological diagnosis, its extension and operability. Following operation all the resected specimens were sent for histopathological evaluation. The diagnostic accuracies of USG and CT scan were then compared against histopathological diagnoses by using Kappa statistics.Result: In the present study, the mean age of the patients was 60 (range: 40-80) years with female preponderance. About 40% of the gall-bladder were contracted and reduced in size and 32.5% large and distended on USG examination, while 45% of the gall-bladder were contracted and reduced in size and 25% distended and large on CT examination. Approximately 40% had irregularly thickened wall and 21.2% diffusely thickened wall on USG and 30% of gallbladder wall were diffusely thickened and 45% irregularly thickened on CT scan. The present study showed hepatic parenchymal invasion to be 22.5% on USG and 42.5% on CT scan. The sensitivity and specificity of USG in diagnosing GB carcinoma were 93.9 and 71.4% respectively. Similarly, the sensitivity and specificity of CT scan in detecting GB carcinoma were 97.1 and 83.3% respectively. The test of agreement (Kappa test) revealed an almost 90% agreement between the two procedures meaning that the two diagnostic modalities are almost comparable in diagnosing gall bladder carcinoma (p<0.001).Conclusion: The study findings indicate that both USG and CT scan are ideal,non-invasive, safe imaging modalities for diagnosis of gallbladder carcinoma. CT scan has an additional advantage in defining the extension of the disease and involvement of surrounding structures including lymph nodes and hepatoduodenal ligament.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 8, No. 2: Jul 2017, P 105-111

Background: Gallbladder carcinoma (CA) is the most common primary biliary carcinoma and fifth most common malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract. Patients are usually asymptomatic early in the course of the disease and as a result, therapeutic window is usually missed. Authors discuss spectrum of imaging findings in CA gall bladder with multidetector computed tomography (CT) as modality of choice.Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study conducted at Shaukat Khanum memorial hospital and research centre. Data from January 2019 to January 2020 which included 70 patients was collected from HIS. Patients with imaging findings of CA gall bladder were examined who had undergone contrast enhanced CT. Institutional review board approved this study.Results: Out of 70 cases in this study, cholelithiasis was present in 60%. The commonest MDCT finding was mass replacing GB (78.6%), followed by eccentric/diffuse gall bladder wall thickening. Extension to porta hepatis was noted in 25 (35.7%) cases. Antroduodenal involvement was noted in 11 (15.8%), hepatic flexure involvement in 8 (11.4%). Vascular encasement/thrombosis of the portal vein noted in 6 (8.6%). Metastasis at presentation was seen in 16 patients i.e., 22.9%. Majority patients presented with stage III and IV disease.Conclusions: Single-center tertiary care oncology hospital study gives insight about imaging findings of carcinoma gallbladder. Authors conclude that multidetector CT is the diagnostic tool of choice in detection of gall bladder carcinoma, locoregional disease, distant metastasis and hence operability and non-operability of the disease.

Advanced Stages

Gall bladder carcinoma is an exceedingly rare and fatal cancer with a high mortality rate.  Detecting gall bladder carcinoma in early stages can be difficult, despite improvements in ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) imaging. Most diagnoses of gallbladder carcinoma are made at advanced stages, with majority being found incidentally during surgery for cholelithiasis.  The presented case demonstrates suspicion of Gallbladder carcinoma pre-operatively.
