Overview

The most potent risk factor in the development of gallbladder carcinoma is gallstones. Other risk factors include Porcelain gallbladder, gallbladder polyps, Primary sclerosing cholangitis, chronic infection, pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) and biliary cysts.

Less common risk factors

Less common risk factors in the development of gallbladder carcinoma include:

  • Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM): PBM is due to failure of migration of embryological ducts into the duodenum.Gallbladder carcinoma is the most common malignancy seen in patients with a pancreaticobiliary maljunction problem.
  • Congenital biliary cysts: Biliary cysts are cystic dilatations in the bile ducts.They were originally coined as choledochal cysts .Biliary cysts are more frequently seen in Asian populations. An abnormal pancreaticobiliary duct junction is present in approximately 70 percent of patients with biliary cysts.Particularly cholangiocarcinoma is associated with increased risk with biliary cysts.[7][8][9]
