BACKGROUND
The prevalence of cholelithiasis and gallbladder cancer may be different across ethnic groups.
AIM
To study the prevalence of cholelithiasis and gallbladder cancer among Aymara individuals.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
An abdominal ultrasound was carried out in a sample of 182 Aymara women aged 46 ± 16 years and 76 Aymara men aged 55 ± 16 years. In addition, the histopathological reports of both patients with a history of previous cholecystectomy and those operated after the study were reviewed.
RESULTS
Ultrasound was normal in 150 participants (58%), 76 had cholelithiasis (30%) and 32 (12%) had a history of cholecystectomy. Pathological reports of the excised gallbladder were available for 106 cases and showed a chronic cholecystitis in 98% of cases. Gallbladder cancer was not reported.
CONCLUSIONS
There is a 42% prevalence of cholelithiasis and no gallbladder cancer in this sample of Aymara population.
