Gallbladder Carcinoma as a Long-Term Complication of Cholecystojejunostomy

Authors: Charles H. C. Pilgrim, Laveniya Satgunaseelan, Salena M. Ward, Peter M. Evans

Published in: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery | Issue 12/2009

Abstract

Introduction

Development of gallbladder cancer following cholecystojejunostomy has not previously been described.

Methods

A case of a patient who developed gallbladder cancer 22 years following cholecystojejunostomy is presented, and a literature review of known complications of cholecysto-enteric anastomosis was performed.

Discussion

Cholangitis is the commonest reported complication, known to predispose the biliary epithelium to malignant change, but has not been described until now as being carcinogenic for the gallbladder. Gallbladder carcinoma may be a rare long-term complication of cholecystojejunostomy.
