Mirizzi syndrome masquerading as gallbladder carcinoma: a case report on diagnostic challenges and multidisciplinary management.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Mirizzi syndrome is a rare condition that is frequently misdiagnosed as gallbladder cancer due to overlapping clinical and imaging features. This case underscores the diagnostic challenge of differentiating these two conditions and offers insights into managing such complex presentations. Case summary: A 45-year-old female presented with obstructive jaundice and elevated liver enzymes. Imaging studies, including CT, PET-CT, and MRCP, revealed gallbladder wall thickening, bile duct obstruction, and a high suspicion of malignancy. Tumor markers were within normal limits. Intraoperatively, extensive adhesions, gallbladder wall oedema, and bile duct compression consistent with Mirizzi syndrome were identified. A partial cholecystectomy and bile duct exploration with stent placement were performed. Histopathological examination confirmed chronic cholecystitis with inflammation, but no evidence of malignancy. The patient had an uneventful recovery, with complete resolution of her symptoms. Conclusion: Mirizzi syndrome can closely resemble gallbladder cancer, making careful surgical exploration and pathological evaluation essential for accurate diagnosis.
