  ABSTRACT: The cytological study of gallbladder bile is a diagnostic tool used very often in the treatment of gallbladder cancer. The diagnosis of gall bladder cancer is done by morphological examinations such as ultrasound, computed tomography in 80% of cases, but in some difficult cases, benign lesions associated with malignant lesions, such as pseudo-tumoral cholecystitis, adenomyosis or adenoma and cancers requiring medical treatment by chemotherapy or radiotherapy, is without the possibility of surgical treatment. Cytology can help resolve a number of difficult situations, such as the presence of an intra-gallbladder lesion in the form of a polyp or nodule. Some studies have reported very interesting results from gallbladder cytology to cancer diagnosis with results up to 85% sensitivity. The purpose of this study is to analyze the contribution of the cytological study of gallbladder bile to the positive diagnosis of gallbladder cancer.
