Unlabelled: Gallbladder torsion is comparatively rare. Gallbladder cancer is found in 1.5% of cases of acute cholecystitis. We report a case of laparoscopic cholecystectomy(TANKO)for gallbladder cancer with torsion.
Case: A 54-year-old woman with epigastric pain underwent enhanced computed tomography. Gallbladder torsion and a tumor at the gallbladder neck were suspected, and ascites was observed. She was diagnosed with gallbladder torsion, and surgery was performed the same day. Intraoperative findings: The gallbladder was movable, minimally attached to the liver bed, rotated 360°around the cystic duct and cystic artery, and appeared necrotic. The torsion was relieved and laparoscopic cholecystectomy(TANKO)was performed. We accidentally perforated the gallbladder and bile leaked out.
Course: The patient did well postoperatively. Pathological diagnosis revealed gallbladder cancer.
Discussion: Gallbladder cancer with torsion has been reported in 14 cases, not including ours. Among these, none were performed using laparoscopic cholecystectomy(TANKO). We believe that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is appropriate for such cases, but the approach must be carefully considered because of the risk of perforation.

Background: Signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) originates from undifferentiated stem cells in the neck of glands within the lamina propria of the mucosa. Primarily affecting the stomach, SRCC can also involve the breast, pancreas, gallbladder, colon, and bladder, although these cases are rare. SRCC of the prostate is extremely rare, and diagnosing it pelvic puncture is particularly challenging.

This study retrospectively evaluated the computed tomography (CT) findings of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) at a single center and compared the CT findings of iMCD-TAFRO with those of iMCD-non-TAFRO. CT images obtained within 30 days before diagnostic confirmation were reviewed for 20 patients with iMCD (8 men and 12 women, mean age 52.8 ± 12.

Introduction: Biliary tract cancer (BTC) originates from the biliary epithelium of the small ducts within the liver (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, IHCC), the main ducts of the hilum (extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, EHCC), or in the gallbladder (gallbladder cancer, GC). Due to presentation with nonspecific symptoms as well as absence of screening, most patients present with advanced disease and unfavorable prognosis.
Areas Covered: The ABC-02 trial established the current first-line chemotherapy with gemcitabine/platinum for advanced BTC in 2010.

Gallbladder adenocarcinoma has a high mortality rate, with approximately 1.7% cancer-related deaths worldwide. Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), can significantly increase the risk of mortality within cancer patients, especially in pancreatic, brain, and intra-abdominal cancers, as well as in advanced and metastatic cancers.
