Porcelain gallbladder an interesting incidental finding. Case report and literature review
Keywords:
porcelain vesicle, cholecystectomy, physiological calcification, gallbladder cancerAbstract
The communication of a newly diagnosed case was carried out at the "Joaquín Albarrán" Surgical Clinical Teaching Hospital in Havana. The case presented corresponded with a 73-year-old male patient who in the autopsy study revealed the presence of a porcelain gallbladder,, which, according to the literature, its identification is an incidental diagnosis during the study of the patient for another condition , mostly neoplastic or at autopsy. His relationship with gallbladder cancer is controversial. The porcelain gallbladder is an entity characterized by intramural gallbladder calcification, has a reported incidence of 0.06 to 0.8% of the cholecystectomies performed. We reviewed the literature in databases, MEDLINE, PubMed, ELSEVIER and SciELO, with a total of 26 publications found between 1999 and 2018.
