Incidental gallbladder cancer at cholecystectomy.

CONCLUSION: Gallbladder tumours detected incidentally could extend survival rates with proper surgical intervention and chemotherapy. The possibility of a tumour should not be dismissed in those patients with advanced age, females or patients with gallbladder stones. Frozen specimens should be created during a cholecystectomy, and if there is any doubt about the diagnosis, a postoperative histopathological examination of the gallbladder should be conducted.
