  • Title: [Carcinoid of the gallbladder. A report of a clinical case treated by video laparoscopic cholecystectomy].
    Author: Lovera M, Pirrotta A, Donida GL, Tampellini P, Saurgnani A, Cerqui F, Pelizzari E.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1997 Oct; 52(10):1209-13. PubMed ID: 9471574.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a clinical case of the gallbladder carcinoid tumour treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. After a short analysis of the classification, the malignant potentiality and the symptoms of gallbladder carcinoids, they conclude that it is possible to treat carcinoids with laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but only in some selected cases, that is to say in the absence of factors indicative of local invasion and that in the other cases it is preferable the classic surgical treatment of laparotomic resection.
