| Core Tip |
Whether the gallbladder should be removed prophylactically for asymptomatic gallstone disease (AGD) is still debated. We herein describe two cases with a long history of AGD. In the first case, magnetic resonance imaging suggested gallbladder cancer with liver involvement, but postoperative pathology demonstrated xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis. In the second case, imaging suggested metastatic gallbladder cancer, and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. Although prophylactic cholecystectomy is not indicated for all AGDs to avoid future risk, annual follow-up is urgently needed. If signs of abnormality or risk factors are present, timely surgery is suggested. |
