Cholangiocarcinoma and Gallbladder Cancer Studies

Evidence from our clinical experience with twenty-nine cases of papilloma of the gallbladder and from a review of the literature for the past twenty years is adduced in support of the belief that cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. Illustrative cases, with their roentgenographic findings, gross and microscopic pathologic studies, and follow-up data are presented to emphasize that papillomatous growths in the gallbladder have greater significance than has generally been recognized.
