Summary

Gallbladder cancer can spread to the port site during laparoscopic cholecystectomy if gallbladder contents spill. This case highlights the risk of port site metastasis after gallbladder adenocarcinoma removal.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common procedure for gall bladder diseases.
  • Spillage of gall bladder contents can occur during laparoscopic procedures.
  • Gallbladder adenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy.

Observation:

  • A 50-year-old man underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for suspected calculous cholecystitis.
  • Histology revealed a single focus of adenocarcinoma within the gall bladder.
  • Gallbladder contents spilled through the umbilical port during specimen retrieval.

Findings:

  • The patient developed port site metastasis, specifically adenocarcinoma, six months post-surgery.
  • The port site tumor was successfully treated with wide excision.

Implications:

  • Gallbladder content spillage during laparoscopic cholecystectomy poses a risk for port site metastasis of adenocarcinoma.
  • Careful technique and port site management are crucial to minimize cancer seeding.
  • Further research into preventing iatrogenic tumor spread in laparoscopic procedures is warranted.
