Gallbladder cancer is the most frequent aggressive neoplasm of the biliary tract, with a poor prognosis, and is a challenge due to its advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. It ranks fifth in order of frequency among malignant neoplasms of the digestive system. A 58-year-old male patient with a history of alcohol consumption, gastric ulcer, and emergency surgery for a perforated gastric ulcer 25 years ago is presented. He was admitted to medical services with abdominal pain after eating fats and pain in the right iliac fossa. A series of complementary studies were performed and gallbladder cancer was diagnosed. It is concluded that the timely diagnosis of gallbladder cancer and the performance of cholecystectomy in early stages of the disease is the main cause of survival in these patients.Downloads
