Evaluation of abnormal gallbladder imaging findings: Surgical management and pathologic correlations in early-stage gallbladder cancer

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.
