Abstract

Background & Methods: The aim of the study is to study the histomorphological diversity of various non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions of gall bladder. The gross specimens received were fixed in 10 percent formalin for 24 hours and multiple sections from each specimen were taken to include the representative area for histological examination. Sections were processed with a tissue processor and embedded in paraffin block which were cut in 5 micron thickness with the help of microtome. Results: In our study out of 53 cases, 49 cases (92.4%) were inflammatory lesions, 03 cases (5.6%) were malignant lesions, 1 case (1.8%) was benign lesion and 1 gall bladder was found normal. According to our study inflammatory lesion are more common than neoplastic lesions and in neoplastic lesions malignant tumours are more common than benign tumours. Conclusion: In this study the age of patients ranged from 18 years to 80 years. In our study minimum age of the patient with gall bladder lesion was 6 years and maximum age was 73 years. It shows that inflammatory lesion are more common than neoplastic lesions and in neoplastic lesions malignant tumours are more common than benign tumours. It shows that carcinoma of gall bladder affect more frequently females than males.
