ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the extent and the relevant factors for local lymph node metastasis of gallbladder carcinoma. Methods Clinicopathologic features of 34 patients with gallbladder carcinoma who underwent radical resection were analyzed retrospectively. Results The overall lymph node metastasis rate was 68%(23/34), with 0(0/3) in T 1 stage, 43%(3/7) in T 2, 85%(11/13) in T 3, and 82%(9/11) in T 4. The metastasis rate was 29%(10/34) in gallbladder lymph nodes, 44%(15/34) in pericholedochal, 18%(6/34) in hepatic hilum, 24%(8/34) alongside proper hepatic artery, 21%(7/34) in periportal vein, 38%(13/34) in retropancreaticoduodenal, and 4/6 in paraaortic region. Conclusions Lymph node metastasis was determined by the depth of invasion of the primary tumor. The extent of surgical dissection was made according to the exploration and result of intraoperative biopsy.
