We retrospectively evaluate all consecutive cholecystectomies performed in the Fundación Hospital San José de Buga during a 2 year-old period to determine the incidence of carcinoma of the vesicle and to identify retrospectively characteristic common in this particular group of patient. Results. Of the 376 cholecystectomies performed in this hospital during the last two years, the carcinoma of gallbladder was diagnosed in six patients alone in one of them was suspected before the surgery. In accordance with the literature, the occurrence in women (83.3%) was higher than in men (16.7%). The mean age was 58.5 years (range 41±71). Its presentation is similar to that of lithic disease of the gallbladder. The most common symptom is was abdominal pain; the majority (66.7%) had cholelithiasis, and the pathological reports confirm the diagnosis adenocarcinoma in all the six patients. Conclusions.
