Basic autopsy cutting

Gross pathology of gallbladder carcinoma, with a prominent nodule.

May be done by a distal-to-proximal approach: Identify the ampulla of Vater, possibly by bile flow when squeezing the gallbladder. Dissect the common bile duct, cystic duct and thereafter the gallbladder. Look mainly for signs of carcinoma. Further information: Autopsy

Fixation

Generally 10% neutral buffered formalin.

  See also: General notes on fixation


Microscopic evaluation

Look at least at the epithelial lining, for atypia.
