  • Title: [Non visible carcinoma of the gallbladder. A strategic problem after video laparoscopic cholecystectomy].
    Author: Bezzi M, Caratozzolo M, Chiarot M, Eleuteri E, Bezzi C, Papaspyropoulos V, Angelini L.
    Journal: Ann Ital Chir; 1997; 68(3):325-8; discussion 328-9. PubMed ID: 9454545.
    Abstract:
    A formal contraindication to laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gallbladder cancer. Sometimes its first appearance is intraoperative finding or microscopic examination of gallbladder removed for presumed benign disease. These patients with "inapparent carcinoma" may be long-term survivors if definitive and curative therapy is performed. We present the case of 56 y. woman which presented a T2 unsuspected carcinoma that was reoperated and cured by wedge liver resection, extended lymph node dissection and large excision of tissue of trocar wounds.
