Summary

Gallbladder cancer wall thickening on CT scans correlates with locoregional infiltration. Hypo-isoenhancement is common, while intraluminal growth shows no significant association with metastasis.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Gallbladder cancer (GBC) poses a significant health challenge, particularly in the Indian population.
  • Accurate assessment of locoregional infiltration is crucial for treatment planning and prognosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between morphological patterns and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) enhancement patterns in Indian patients with gallbladder cancer and locoregional infiltration.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving patients diagnosed with gallbladder disorders.
  • MDCT scans were performed using a 40-slice scanner with oral contrast administration.
  • Analysis focused on correlating specific CT findings like wall thickening and enhancement patterns with infiltration sites.

Main Results:

  • Gallbladder wall thickening showed significant associations with infiltration into the liver, colon, bile ducts, and vascular structures.
  • Portovenous hyperenhancement strongly correlated with all morphological patterns, especially hypo-isoenhancement on non-contrast CT.
  • Arterial hyperenhancement exhibited an inverse relationship with certain morphological patterns.

Conclusions:

  • Gallbladder cancer often results in gallbladder replacement or damage, with wall thickening being a common CT finding.
  • Hypo-isoenhancement is the prevalent imaging pattern, whereas hyperenhancement is less frequent.
  • While intraluminal polypoidal growth lacked significant correlation with metastasis, wall thickening emerged as a key indicator of disease spread.
