Clinicopathological Study of Cholecystectomy Specimens

Abstract

In this study, there are possible causes of two years from June 2015 to May of 2017. During study includes 130 cases of cholecystectomy specimens from January 2013 to June 2017. The objective/purpose of the study is to correlate histopathological findings with various biochemical parameters viz. fasting blood sugar level, lipid profile, etc. Amongst the four cases of adenocarcinoma, 3 (75 %) cases showed serosal infiltration and liver infiltration. Out of a total of 130 cases, 69 (53%) were female, and 61 (47%) were male. Out of 4 patients of adenocarcinoma 2 (50%) patients expired during the postoperative period, while 2 (50%) patients improved. Diabetic patients constitute 13.84% of total cholecystectomy patients, so diabetes proved to be a risk factor for the development of gallbladder diseases with statistically significant Odds Ratio (2.66). Results from this study show that a variety of gallbladder lesions are observed in cholecystectomy specimens. The most common lesion observed was chronic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis 99 cases (76.1%), followed by acute cholecystitis 12 cases (9.2%). The present study was undertaken to emphasize the role of histopathological examination in cholecystectomy specimens and its correlation with clinical presentation. Histopathological examination many time reveals an unusual diagnosis bearing significant implications on the treatment, prognosis and outcome of the patient. Hence, the study was undertaken to emphasize the role of histopathological examination in cholecystectomy specimens and its correlation with clinical presentation.
