  • Title: [The efficacy of echography in the diagnosis of gallbladder carcinoma].
    Author: Benelli B, Borghetti M, Parziale M, Bertolotti PA, Montanari G, Maldotti M, Bonardi R, Reduzzi L, Abbiati C.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1989 Mar; 80(3):237-9. PubMed ID: 2654760.
    Abstract:
    The preoperative diagnosis of carcinoma of the gallbladder is very difficult because the clinical manifestations of this disease are nonspecific and often indistinguishable from those of cholecystitis. Radiography, including oral cholecystograms and i.v. cholangiograms, give aspecific findings. Ultrasound scans were performed on 13 gallbladder carcinomas: only "massive" cancer was diagnosed correctly, because sonography does not offer specific patterns for "infiltrating" and "fungating" carcinomas.
