ABSTRACT

Objective: The purpose of this study is to see the spectrum of diverse changes in cholecystectomy specimens.Study

Study Design: Descriptive, Cross sectional study.

Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Department of Pathology, tertiary care hospital, Lahore from January 2018 to January 2020 (after Institutional Review Board approval).

Material and Methods; Total 183 gall bladder specimens of all ages and both sexes were taken. After receiving specimens in formalin grossing was done according to standard protocols. Sections from neck, body and fundus were taken in grossly unremarkable specimens and subjected for routine histopathological processing. The morphological changes in the gallbladders were examined. Data was entered and analyzed statistically.

Results: Total of 183 patients were studied after cholecystectomy procedure. Majority of the cases were female i.e 136 (74.31%) and 47 (25.68%) were males. 102 number of patients were more than 40 years (55.73 %) and 81 were less than 40 years (44.26%).

Conclusion: The study provides an insight into the variety of morphological features on microscopy ranging from non-neoplastic to neoplastic lesions. Detection of malignancy in clinically benign gallbladder is much lower but early diagnosis in initial stage tumor is the rationale to examine all cholecystectomy specimens.

Key Words: Cholecystectomy, Cholecystitis, Cholelithiasis, Gall bladder.
