Abstract: Gall stone disease can have varied presentations. In presence of thick walled gall bladder there is a challenge to differentiate benign diagnosis from malignant diagnosis preoperatively & to prove or rule out malignancy .In case of long history of stones, old age, familial risk factors, presentation with jaundice, anorexia there are more chances of thick walled GB being malignant pathology. There are imaging features in USG which point towards malignant or benign causes of gall bladder wall thickening.
