Gallbladder stones are commonest disorder among gall bladder lesions and are usually asymptomatic. Its frequency in cholecystectomy specimens is not clear. The aim of this study is to report the morphological variants and frequency of different lesions in cholecystectomy specimens. The present study is a retrospective and prospective study done for a period of 3 years in Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Karimnagar. A total of 100 cholecystectomy specimen’s recieved were studied in the present study. Out of 100 cholecystectomy cases, highest number of cases were chronic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis(69), followed by chronic cholecystitis without cholelithiasis (24),acute cholecystitis(02), one case each of adenoma, adenocarcinoma, mucocele, normal study and xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis. Females are more affected than males and age group between 31-40 are more affected. Gallbladder lesions were common indication for surgical intervention and pathological evaluation. Most of them were inflammatory lesions with cholelithiasis, however thorough examination is important as these lesions may progress to fatal malignancies.
