Overview
It is hard to detect early forms of gallbladder cancer. Like other cancer diseases, doctors need to administer many tests to diagnose cancer and determine whether it has metastasized. For most types of cancer, a biopsy is the best way to make a definitive diagnosis of cancer. If a biopsy is not possible, other image tests are recommended such as computed tomography (CT) scan, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or Positron emission tomography (PET) scan.
Ultrasonography
-
Gallbladder cancer: 88 year old female with epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting. Soft tissue mass lesion arising from the anterior wall of the gallbladder and extending into the gallbladder lumen.
-
Gallbladder cancer: 88 year old female with epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting. This has the appearance of a neoplasm, most likely a primary carcinoma of the gallbladder.
-
Gallbladder cancer: 88 year old female with epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting. Metastatic lesion or lymphoma are less likely considerations. There is no definite sonographic evidence of extension of the mass outside the gallbladder nor of regional adenopathy.
-
Gallbladder cancer: 88 year old female with epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting. Bilateral renal cysts, with that in the left upper pole categorized as a Bosniak type II cyst.
