Abstract

Port-site metastasis following laparoscopic cholecystectomy with unsuspected gallbladder carcinoma is a serious problem. We present an unusual case of four-port-site adenocarcinoma metastasis from gallbladder cancer. A 63-year-old woman underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. Thirty months later, she was admitted to the hospital with a complaint of masses at the four trocar sites. A biopsy from the port sites was undertaken and led to the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma metastasis.
