DEFINITIONWhat is cholecystitis?
Inflammation of the gallbladder is called cholecystitis. • In Malaysia, the diseases of
gastrointestinal system are getting chronic by days, making them as one of the top 10 most prevalent causes of death.

DEFINITIONAcute inflammation of gallbladder that contains stones and is precipitated by obstruction of the gallbladder neck or cystic duct. •The most common major complication of
gallstones.•The most common reason for emergency
cholecystectomy. Neck

PATHOGENESIS
•Acute CALCULOUS cholecystitis results from chemical irritation and inflammation of the obstructed gallbladder.
•The action of mucosal phospholipases hydrolyzes luminal lecithins (phospholipids) to toxic LYSOLECITHINS.
•The normally protective glycoprotein mucus layer is disrupted, exposing the mucosal epithelium to the direct DETERGENT action of bile salts.
![Page 9: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

• Prostaglandins released within the wall of the distended gallbladder contribute to mucosal and mural inflammation.
• Gallbladder dysmotility develops
distention and increased intraluminal pressure
compromise blood flow to the mucosa.

MORPHOLOGYIn acute cholecystitis basically,•Gallbladder is usually
enlarged and tense•Characterized as a bright red
or blotchy, violaceous to green-black discolouration.
• Imparted by subserosal haemorrhages.
•Serosal covering is layered by:▫Fibrin▫Definite suppurative
coagulated exudate – severe
![Page 11: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
In acute calculous cholecystitis, •Obstructing stones are usually present in
the neck of the gallbladder or cystic duct.
•The gallbladder lumen may contain one or more stones, filled with cloudy or turbid bile which may contain large amounts of fibrin, pus and haemorrhage.
![Page 12: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
•Empyema of gallbladder – the contained exudate is virtually pure pus.
• In mild cases, the wall is thickened, edematous and hyperemic.
•Gangrenous cholecystitis – severe, gallbladder turns into green-black necrotic organ, with small-to-large perforations.
•Acute emphysematous cholecystitis – invasion of gas-forming organisms i.e., clostridia and coliforms.
![Page 13: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

CLINICAL FEATURES Patients usually, not always,
experienced previous episodes of pain.
May appear with remarkable suddenness & constitute an acute surgical emergency. Or may present with mild symptoms without medical intervention. Attacks usually subside in 7-10 days. 25% of patients progressively develop more severe symptoms – immediate surgical intervention. Recurrence is common after
recovery.

15
Acute inflammation of gallbladder that has no relation with gallstones. •5%-12% of gallbladders
removal contain no gallstones.
•Mostly happen in seriously ill patients.
DEFINITION
Preoperative condition with inflamed gallbladder

RISK FACTORS (1) Sepsis with hypotension and multisystem
organ failure; (2) Immunosuppression (3) Major trauma and burns (4) Diabetes mellitus (5) Infections (Salmanellosis & Cholera), Parasitic
infestation
Subserosal perforation in diabetic patient with acute emphysematous cholecystitis.

17
PATHOGENESISResults from ischemia of cystic artery
Contributing factors:- Inflammation & edema of the wall that compromise blood flow- Gallbladder stasis -Accumulation of microcrystals of cholesterol (biliary sludge)
-Viscous bile-Gallbladder mucus
Cystic duct obstruction in the absence of frank stone formation
![Page 18: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

MORPHOLOGY
•There are no specific morphologic differences between acute acalculous and calculous cholecystitis, except for the absence of macroscopic stones in acalculous form.
![Page 19: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
CLINICAL FEATURES• The symptoms are more insidious
– underlying conditions. • Higher proportion of patients – no
symptoms referable to gallbladder.• Incidence of gangrene and
perforation is higher than in calculous cholecystitis.
• Rarely, acute acalculous occurs due to primary bacterial infection (e.g., Salmonella typhi, staphylococci).
• Less painful acute acalculous – systemic vasculitis, severe atherosclerotic ischemic disease in elderly, AIDS patients & biliary tract infection.

MANAGEMENT FOR ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS • Initial treatment management is conservative,
consisting of nil by mouth, IV fluids, opiate analgesia and IV antibiotics (cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones or piperacillin/tazobactam).
• Cholecystectomy cures acute cholecystitis and relieves biliary pain. It is usually delayed for a few days to allow the symptoms to settle.
• Surgery may be delayed when patients have an underlying severe chronic disorder (eg, cardiopulmonary) that increases the surgical risks. In such patients, cholecystectomy is deferred until medical therapy stabilizes the comorbid disorders or until cholecystitis resolves. ▫ If cholecystitis resolves, cholecystectomy may be
done ≥ 6 wk later. Delayed surgery carries the risk of recurrent biliary complications.

CHRONIC CHOLECYSTITIS
![Page 22: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
CHRONIC CHOLECYSTITIS
• In most cases, it develops without any history if acute attacks, but in some cases, it happens as a sequel to repeated bouts of acute cholecystitis.
•Almost associated with gallstones but they do not have direct role in development of pain or inflammation.▫Symptoms and morphologic alterations similar
to those seen in calculous form. • Since it is associated with cholelithiasis in more
than 90% of cases, the patient populations are the same as those for gallstones.
![Page 23: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
MORPHOLOGY – GROSS • The serosa - smooth and glistening but maybe dulled by
subserosal fibrosis. • Dense fibrous adhesions.• Wall - thickened with opaque gray-white appearance. • In uncomplicated cases – lumen contains fairly clear, green-
yellow, mucoid bile and stones. • Mucosa is preserved.
Notice thickness of galldladder wall, abundant polyhedric stones and small papillary tumor in the cystic duct.
![Page 24: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Morphology – histologic examination• In the mildest cases, only scattered lymphocytes, plasma cells and macrophages are found in the mucosa & subserosal fibrous tissue.
• In advanced cases, there is marked subepithelial & subserosal fibrosis, with mononuclear cell infiltration.
• Buried crypts of epithelium due to reactive proliferation of mucosa & fusion of mucosal folds.
• Outpouchings of mucosal epithelium through the wall – Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses
Enlarged mucosal folds of the gallbladder and infiltrate of foamy histiocytes, very little inflammation, found in the muscular wall and serosal fat.
![Page 25: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

CLINICAL FEATURES
•Has no striking manifestations of acute forms.•Usually characterized by recurrent attacks of steady
epigastric or right upper quadrant pain.•Nausea, vomiting and intolerance for fatty foods.

EPIDEMIOLOGY
More common in
women
Occurs in 7th decade
of life
Mexico & Chile – high incidence of
gallstone disease
In US, most
common in Hispanics
and Native Americans
Although uncommon, it is the most
frequent malignant tumor of
biliary tract
![Page 29: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
PATHOGENESIS• Gallbladder cancer arises in the
setting of chronic inflammation. In the vast majority of patients (>75%), the source of this chronic inflammation is cholesterol gallstones.
• The presence of gallstones increases the risk of gallbladder cancer 4- to 5-fold.
• Other unusual causes are associated with gallbladder cancer, including primary sclerosing cholangitis, ulcerative colitis, liver flukes, chronic Salmonella typhi and paratyphi infections, and Helicobacter infection.
![Page 30: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
MORPHOLOGY
Cancer may exhibit exophytic or infiltrating growth patterns. • The infiltrating pattern is more common
and usually appears as a poorly defined area of thickening and induration of the gallbladder wall.
• Deep ulceration can cause direct penetration of gallbladder wall or fistula formation to adjacent viscera where neoplasm grow.
• These tumors are scirrhous and very firm.
![Page 31: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
• The exophytic pattern grows into the lumen as an irregular, cauliflower-like mass but also invades the underlying wall.
•Luminal portion may be necrotic, hemorrhagic and ulcerated.
•Most common sites: fundus & neck; 20% involve lateral walls.
The opened gallbladder contains a large, exophytic tumor that virtually fills the lumen
![Page 32: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
• Most are adenocarcinomas – may be papillary or poorly differentiated.
• About 5% are squamous cell carcinomas.• Neuroendocrine tumors, which is rare, also
occur.• By the time this cancer is discovered, most have
invaded the liver or spread to the bile ducts or portal hepatic lymph nodes.
Papillary pattern
![Page 33: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
CLINICAL FEATURES•Onset is insidious and indistinguishable from those
associated with cholelithiasis (e.g., abdominal pain, jaundice, anorexia and nausea and vomiting).
• Early detection may be possible in patients with palpable gallbladder & acute cholecystitis before extension of tumor into adjacent structures.
•Or when carcinoma is found during cholecystectomy.
![Page 34: Cholecystitis & carcinoma of gallbladder](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052401/55c483febb61ebf72e8b464a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
PROGNOSIS• Outlook by stage• Sadly, for most people
cancer of the gallbladder does not have a very good outlook.
• By the time it is diagnosed, it is often in the later stages and treatment is unlikely to cure it.
• 1 out of 10 (10%) will live for more than 5 years.Although overall prognosis is improving, many patients with gallbladder cancer continue to have advanced
disease at the time of their diagnosis, and subsequent poor survival rates.

SUMMARY
•Cholecystitis is the inflammation of the gallbladder, almost always associated with gallstones.
•Divided into acute (calculous & acalculous) and chronic.
•Carcinoma of gallbladder is a rare disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the gallbladder.
•Although carcinoma of gallbladder is a rare disease, it has a bad prognosis.
