title: Implantation malignancy after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
abstract: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy may result in spillage of gall bladder contents during dissection or delivery of gall bladder through the umbilical port. We report a 50-year-old man who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for suspected calculous cholecystitis. Histology showed a single focus of adenocarcinoma in the gall bladder. There was spillage of gall bladder contents at the umbilical port during delivery. Six months later, he developed adenocarcinoma at the port site. This was treated by wide excision.
