“…The female to male ratio of 2.6:l in this series is more or less in agreement with the majority of reports in the literature [Solan and Jackson, 1971;Prakash, 19751. However, a significant variation of the age distribution between the sexes has been noted in this series.…”

“…The rare tumours like adenocanthoma, carcinoid, and melanoma of the gallbladder were not seen in this series. experience has been reported by other workers [Robertson and Carlisle, 1967;Solan and Jackson, 1971;Prakash et al, 197.51. Only six patients of the present series in whom cholecystectomy was done are alive giving a five-year survival rate of merely 1.8%.…”

A ten-year retrospective study of 328 histologically proven cases of primary carcinoma of the gallbladder between 1967 and 1976, with a two-year minimum follow-up was undertaken. The overall incidence was 2.9% of all cancer cases and 31.8% of all malignant tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. Male to female ratio was 1:2.64. The disease occurred on the average at a younger age in females (43 years) than in males (50 years). Pain and lump in the right upper abdomen were the commonest clinical features. Laboratory and radiological investigations most often confirmed the diagnosis of advanced disease. The majority (80.8%) were adenocarcinomas. In all the 42 cholecystectomized patients association of gallstones was noted, but as in the majority of cases laparotomy biopsy alone was done, no mention of gallstones was recorded. Five-year survival rate of only 1.8% suggests extensive use of prophylactic cholecystectomy.

“…Sawyer and Minnis (19) collected data from various authors; the incidence of cholelithiasis associated with carcinoma of the gall-bladder varies from 65 to 100 % (see also 3,11,17,23) depending upon the mode of collec tion of the data. A still lower incidence (54 and 55 %) was observed by Solan and Jackson (20) and Burdette (2), respectively. Higher percentages have usually been reported on the basis of data collected from the surgical wards (7,14).…”

On the basis of the autopsy data from the Pathology Department of the Wilhelminen Hospital, Vienna from 1928 to 1972, it has been shown that gall-stones occur more frequently in conjunction with the carcinoma of the gall-bladder but have not aetiological relationship with the malignancy. It is further shown that the carcinoma of the bile ducts is more common in males and the carcinoma of the gall-bladder more common in females.

There were 45 patients (8.8%) of carcinoma of the gall bladder among 506 patients of g;11I bladder disease adm itted during January 1993 to June 1995. Female to male ratio was 4:1 and average age at detection was 52 years. Pain right hypochondrium and jaundice were prominent clinical features. Ultrasonograllhy accurately diagnosed 33 (13.3%) cases while computed tomography was correct in 15122(75-/0) of cases. Cholelithiasis was present in 31 (80%) patients. Sixteen patients were not offered surgery due to either widespread disease or due to poor general health. Cholecystectomy with wedge or segmental resection of liver and lymphadenectomy was performed in 18 out of 29 patients. In 6 patients segmental resection of tbe contiguous involved organ was performed. Perioperative mortality was 8 per cent. Two patients were alive for more than 24 months. 7 for more than 12 months and II were being followed-up for I to 12 months. All patients not offered surgery died within 4 months.
