What does a gallbladder mass diagnosis mean at age 72?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My grandmother is 72 years old. She is a diabetic patient. Her USG report showed SOL of the gallbladder.
What does it mean?
Please suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). In the attached report, there is a space-occupying lesion in the gallbladder. It has wall thickening.
Usually, it is due to a large stone. But no stone is seen in the ultrasonography images. Hence, it is advisable to investigate with a higher investigation, that is CT (computed tomography) scan of the abdomen to rule out any tumor, if present.
You can consult a surgeon for a physical examination.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
