Carcinoma of gall bladder:
This was a patient of right hypochondrial pain. Sonography of the liver and gall bladder show (see ultrasound image above), a poorly defined mass in the region of the Gall bladder fossa with a large calculus trapped within the mass. (Image is courtesy of Vikas Shukla, MD, India). This is a typical appearance of late stage (advanced) gall bladder carcinoma with the cancer having spread beyond the confines of the GB wall. For more images and details of this disease, visit:
