Abstract

Porcelain gallbladder, inspite of its rare occurence, assumes importance because of its risk of malignant transformation. Here, we report a case which mimicked carcinoma during surgery and on histopathological examination was reported as Porcelain gallbladder. This report focuses on the rarity of occurence of Porcelain gallbladder, its differentiating histopathological features with respect to carcinoma, risk of malignancy and its treatment.
