ABSTRACT
El cáncer de vesícula biliar es la neoplasia maligna más común del tracto biliar. Suele presentarse en estadios clínicos avanzados. El tratamiento quirúrgico ha ido evolucionando y en la actualidad equipos dedicados pueden realizar resecciones multiorgánicas extensas y complejas en el afán de lograr resecciones R0 (no enfermedad residual), que podrían ofrecer a los pacientes la posibilidad de curación. En el presente reporte se describe el caso de una paciente con cáncer de vesícula estadio clínico IV, la cual fue sometida a hepatectomía derecha ampliada a segmento IV B en bloque con la confluencia de la vía biliar, lográndose una resección R0
Gallbladder cancer is the most common malignancy of the biliary tract. Usually seen in advanced stages. There are still many controversies about the type of curative surgical treatment for each stage of the disease. The only chance of long term survival for patients with advanced tumors is aggressive, large surgeries that implies multiorgan resection.We report the case of a patient with gallbladder cancer with jaundice at diagnosis, who underwent extended hepatectomy (segment IV B, segment I and extra hepatic hilar bile duct included)
