Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We wanted to determine the incidence in our population of gallbladder adenocarcinoma based on a histopathologic study done after cholecystectomy in patients with a diagnosis of gallstones. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We made a census-type study during the last 3 years that included a total of 4548 gallbladders. Histopathologic results were analyzed and recollected in an established format. Finally, we calculated the incidence of malignant neoplasias of gallbladder in our hospital. RESULTS: The most common histopathologic finding was cholesterolosis (incidence: 26%), followed by xanthogranulomatous gallbladder (incidence: 0.94%). The incidence of gallbladder cancer was 0.54% (25 cases), the most common type being adenocarcinoma (incidence: 0.48%). CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of gallbladder cancer in our hospital is among the lowest limits compared with the literature worldwide.
