Background: Lesions of the gall bladder are common among all age groups. It has high mortality rates in terms of lesions such as cholelithiasis followed by cholecystitis. The present study was conducted to assess the histopathology of lesions of gall bladder. Materials & Methods: It included 160 specimens who were preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin, surgically dissected, processed & stainned by Haematoxylin and Eosin and slide were prepared. Results: Males were 40 and females were 120. The difference was significant (P-0.01). Neoplastic lesions were 55 and non- neoplastic lesions were 105. The difference was significant (P-0.01). Non- neoplastic lesions were acute cholecystitis (45), chronic cholecystitis (35), cholesterosis (12), choledochal cyst (3) and adenomatoid hyperplasia (10). The difference was significant (P-0.05). Neoplastic lesions were adenocarcinoma (46), signet ring carcinoma (4), mucinous carcinoma (3) and papillary carcinoma (2). The difference was significant (P-0.01). Conclusion: Common lesions are acute cholecystitis and chronic cholecystitis etc. The prevalence was more in females. Gall bladder lesions include neoplastic and non- neoplastic.
Key words: Gall bladder, Neoplastic, Non- neoplastic.
