Metastatic Colon Cancer Presenting as Gallbladder Perforation: Highlighting the Diagnostic Challenges and Clinical Implications

Gallbladder perforation is an uncommon occurrence that demands prompt surgical intervention, typically observed in the context of acute cholecystitis. In this article, we present an extraordinary case of gallbladder gangrene and perforation, originating from metastasis of colon cancer. The patient&#...

description Gallbladder perforation is an uncommon occurrence that demands prompt surgical intervention, typically observed in the context of acute cholecystitis. In this article, we present an extraordinary case of gallbladder gangrene and perforation, originating from metastasis of colon cancer. The patient's presentation included an incidental discovery of colon cancer, which was indicated by histopathology of the gall bladder. This case report aims to shed light on the intricate relationship between gallbladder pathology and metastatic colon cancer, emphasizing the need for vigilant evaluation and comprehensive management strategies.
