Abstract
Gallbladder cancer is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis due to its aggressive biology and advanced stage at presentation. The ideal management of gallbladder cancer is highly variable and depends on mode of presentation: Incidental finding on post cholecystectomy specimen, mass on cross-sectional imaging, or jaundice from biliary obstruction. We present a systematic review of the literature regarding management of gallbladder cancer presenting as a histologically unconfirmed mass on imaging. A case vignette of a patient with gallbladder cancer presenting as cholelithiasis with associated mass and cholecystocolonic fistula will serve to highlight the management of gallbladder cancer with complicated features.
