Surgical and autopsy materials were analyzed in a period of six years at La Paz, Bolivia "Bolivian Japanese Gastroenterological Institute" (Instituto de Gastroenterología Boliviano Japonés de La Paz, Bolivia), searching for macro and microscopic appearance of gallbladder cancer. Adenocarcinoma with infiltrative growth was the most frequent finding. Cholecystitis and Cholelithiasis were present in all the cases of gallbladder cancer. Epithelial lesions such hyperplasia, atypical hyperplasia and carcinoma in situ were frequent findings in the surrounding mucosa of invasive gallbladder carcinoma and not so frequent in benign gallbladder lesions. Group V of Nevin classification was common in our cases.

Salmonella typhi and Helicobacter infections have been shown to increase risk of gallbladder cancer (GBC), but findings have been inconsistent. Other bacterial infections may also be associated with GBC. However, information on microbial pathogens in gallbladder bile of GBC patients is scarce. We aimed to investigate the microbial communities in gallbladder bile of patients with GBC and cholelithiasis (CL). Seven GBC patients and 30 CL patients were enrolled in this study. Genomic DNA was extracted from bile and the V3-V4 region of 16S rRNA was amplified. The sequencing results were compared with the 16S database, and the bacteria were identified by homology searches and phylogenetic analysis. DNA was detected in the bile of three GBC (42.9%; Bolivia, 1; Chile, 2) and four CL patients (13.3%; Bolivia, 1; Chile, 3). Of the 37 patients, 30 (81.1%) were negative and unable to analyze. Salmonella typhi and Helicobacter sp. were not detected in bile from any GBC patients. As the predominant species, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Escherichia coli, and Enetrobacter sp. were detected in bile from GBC patients. Those in bile from CL patients were Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp., and Enerococcus gallinarum. Escherichia coli was detected in bile samples from both GBC and CL patients. Whether the bacteria detected in bile from GBC patients would associated with the development of GBC warrant further investigation.
