Abstract

Abstract: Gallbladder cancer is a rare but potentially fatal disease. It is often asymptomatic in early stages and is frequently found incidentally or during the workup for benign biliary disease. We present two patients who each had suspicious gallbladder imaging findings and highlight their differences on radiologic and pathologic examination. Abstract : Patients with suspicious gallbladder imaging findings should be evaluated for surgical intervention, as early surgical resection is associated with an improved survival for early gallbladder cancer.
