Distribution of dysplasia and cancer in the gallbladder: An analysis from a high cancer-risk population
Human Pathology Jul 28, 2018
Koshiol J, et al. - Given that gallbladder dysplasia can progress to cancer and could be associated with increased cancer risk at other biliary tract sites, researchers intended to explore data on the frequency and distribution of gallbladder dysplasia.

They found that low-grade dysplasia (LGD) was typically very focal and would often be missed in routine practice. Findings revealed that the predominance of LGD in the fundus provided etiologic insight, supporting the contribution of gallstones and chronic inflammation.
