Delayed Recurrence of Gall Bladder Cancer as Port-site Metastases with Occult Primary Detected on Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography: A Tale of Two Cases

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a fairly common procedure and is currently considered the gold standard for cholecystectomy. However, the laparoscopic procedure in the presence of gall bladder cancer (GBC) is associated with the risk of port-site metastasis (PSM). Furthermore, in few cases, GBC rema...

Sumario:Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a fairly common procedure and is currently considered the gold standard for cholecystectomy. However, the laparoscopic procedure in the presence of gall bladder cancer (GBC) is associated with the risk of port-site metastasis (PSM). Furthermore, in few cases, GBC remains occult even on postoperative histopathology and presents with PSM remotely. Here, we describe two such cases of GBC with occult primary who presented with PSM and also defined the role of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography in the management of such cases.
