Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrasound for gallbladder carcinoma (GA), in order to improve the ability of early ultrasonic and clinical diagnosis of GA. Methods We analyzed and compared the clinical data and ultrasonic results of 42 GA cases confirmed by surgery and pathology between January 2008 and December 2013, and summarized the classification, ultrasonographic features, and diagnosis of GA. Results Among the 42 cases, 25 were correctly diagnosed by ultrasound (59.5%), among which 9 were thick-wall type, 11 were protrusion type and 5 were solid type. Seventeen cases were misdiagnosed (40.5%). Pathological results showed 14 cases of highly-differentiated adenocarcinoma, 16 of moderately differentiaed adenocarcinoma, 9 of poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma, 2 of squamous adenocarcinoma and 1 of neuroendocrine carcinoma. Conclusion Ultrasound is the preferred method for the diagnosis of GA because of its convenience, although the diagnostic accuracy is still not good and more efforts should be done.
