  • Title: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: incidental carcinoma of the gallbladder with abdominal wall and axillary node metastasis.
    Author: Johnson RC, Fligelstone LJ, Wheeler MH, Horgan K, Maughan TS.
    Journal: HPB Surg; 1997; 10(3):169-71. PubMed ID: 9174863.
    Abstract:
    A case report is presented of intra-mural gallbladder carcinoma discovered incidentally after laparoscopic cholecystectomy who subsequently developed abdominal wall recurrence at the epigastric exit port, and axillary lymph node metastases. Possible preventative steps for tumour dissemination and a management plan if incidental carcinoma is diagnosed is discussed. The use of a non-porous retrieval bag, early recognition of the carcinoma and excision of the exit wound are advocated.
