Pathology and cellular kinetics of gallbladder with an anomalous junction of the pancreaticobiliary duct.

Abstract

These results suggest that a sequence of hyperplastic changes with a corresponding increase in cellular kinetics with progression through dysplasia to carcinoma may be important in carcinogenesis in gallbladders of patients with AJPBD. AJPBD itself may be a possible risk for gallbladder carcinoma.
