Hi Doctor, My mother is having inflammation and swelling in gall bladder with a bulge blocking the bile duct because of which she went through interventional radiology procedure. She is admitted in hospital and doctors saying that she might be having malignant cancer but the second biopsy came tricky which says: Smears are paucicellular and reveal few discretely scattered and loose clusters of atypical cells having anisonucleosis, mild nucleomegaly and focally irregular nuclear membrane. Dense nuclear chromatin and occasional nuclei revealing prominent nucleoli are seen. Abundant cytoplasm giving plasmacytoid appearance is noted in few cells, along with cytoplasmic vacuoles. Few benign epithelial cell clusters and inflammatory cells are noted in a hemorrhagic background IMPRESSION: USG guided gall bladder FNAC : Atypical cells seen. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

My Father is was getting Blood in Urine from past 3 months, we have seen our local practitioner and he suggested CT scan and USG.. After that we have seen a Urologist who did a cystoscophy and found a tumour which he sent for Biopsy. Until the Biopsy report comes. We all are very anxious if its a Bladder cancer. I am attaching all the CT scan report and the operation finding. Can anyone please guide what are the chances of cancer here..
