Liver Transplantation With Incidental Gallbladder Carcinoma in the Recipient Hepatectomy
Gallbladder carcinoma(GBCA) is the most common malignancy of the biliary tract1 and is often
found seredipitiously after cholecystectomy. We report the first two cases of incidental GBCA in the
native gallbladder of two liver transplant recipients. Both patients are 2.5 years following uneventful
orthotopiic liver transplantation(OLTx) with no evidence of recurrent disease. Pathology of both
recipients was early and favorable. Neither patient received any further therapy. Given the incidence
of GBCA and the evolution of OLTx we would anticipate this finding to be more prevalent
