Abstract
Gallbladder cancers (GBC) are rare, and they are one of lethal neoplasms of biliary system. The diagnosis is either incidentally during histopathological examinations after cholecystectomy or due to complications of local or systemic spread of the malignancy. The incidence differs ethnically and geographically. The aim was to identify increase risk of cancer in the Kurdistan region by searching for the number of GBC cases among cholecystectomy patients in Sulaymaniyah governorate. This study is laboratory-based retrospective study, including data obtained from 8315 cholecystectomized patients in Sulaymaniyah governorate from 2017- 2021. The information within the questionnaire included: age, sex, clinical notes and histopathological findings; including GBC. The total of 8315 cases; were 2149 males (25.8%) and 6166 females (74.2%). The mean age was (44.67+/-15.18) years. Forty-five cases have been reported as adenocarcinoma of GB and one case of Carcinosarcoma. Among the patients, 875 cases (10.50%) had acute cholecystitis. A significant relationship was found between the findings and the age and gender of the patients. GBC is not common and is mainly diagnosed incidentally after routine post-operative histopathological examination, and mainly affects old ages.
