Abstract
Unsuspected microscopic adenocarcinoma (TI) of the gallbladder was ide ntified after surgery in two patients who underwent urgent open cholec ystectomy for acute cholecystitis. In spite of the tumor being at an e arly stage both patients died after few months for local and dissemina ted tumor recurrence. The influence of the associated inflammatory dis ease of the gallbladder on the outcome of patients with inapparent gal lbaldder carcinoma is discussed and a more aggressive surgical strateg y is suggested.
