  • Title: [Metastatic implants after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in unsuspected gallbladder cancer. A case report and review of the literature].
    Author: Younan A, Ingea H, Tohmé C, Sarkis R, Farah P.
    Journal: J Med Liban; 1996; 44(3):161-4. PubMed ID: 9296964.
    Abstract:
    A gallbladder carcinoma, diagnosed preoperatively, is a counter-indication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. When this cancer is not diagnosed and laparoscopic surgery is undertaken, neoplastic dissemination may occur along the trocars pathways which renders the prognosis even worse. The most probable explanation of the dissemination is a seeding of sloughed cancerous cells onto abdominal wall during exsuflation. The authors report the case of a 36-year-old woman with an adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder discovered after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and who has had rapid intra-abdominal and parietal metastases.
