Popis: Introduction: Gallbladder lesions comprise inflammatory, benign, pre-malignant, and malignant lesions. The progression of benign lesions into malignant ones involves a complex process. The p53 gene is commonly disrupted in carcinogenesis. Malignant lesions may exhibit p53 overexpression compared to benign and inflammatory lesions. Aim: To investigate the distribution of gallbladder lesions and the expression of the p53 nuclear protein in these lesions. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Pathology, Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, from June 2020 to December 2022. A total of 249 specimens of gallbladder lesions, including congenital, inflammatory, benign, pre-malignant, and malignant lesions, were included. All samples underwent Haematoxylin & Eosin(H&E) staining and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) with p53 antibody using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method. The association of P53 expression with histopathological diagnosis was analysed using Fisher’s Exact test. The final analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, version 25.0. A p-value
