AB  - Gallbladder  cancer  is  an  aggressive  malignancy  with  a  generally  poor  prognosis.  Described  for  the  first  time  in  two  autopsy  cases  by  Stoll  and  his  colleagues  in  1777,  it  is  the  most  common  malignant  tumor  of  the  biliary  tract  and  the  sixth  most  common  gastrointestinal  cancer.1,2  Complete  surgical  resection  provides  the  only  hope  of  long-term  cure  and  survival.  Despite  an  increasing  number  of  patients  diagnosed  incidentally,  most  patients  are  found  with  advanced  disease  when  potentially  curative  treatment  is  not  feasible  and  palliative  therapy  is  the  only  option.3
