Objective This work aimed to study the distribution of lymph nodal metastatic pattern in carcinoma gallbladder with multidetector computed tomography (CT).  Materials and Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted including 80 patients with carcinoma gallbladder who underwent triple-phase CT angiography or single-phase contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen between January 2019 and November 2019.  Results In our study, 75 (93.7%) out of 80 cases showed metastasis to lymph nodes, with distribution as follows: periportal (69), peripancreatic (62), and aortocaval (47). The most common involved combination included all three lymph nodal groups (periportal, peripancreatic, and aortocaval), involving 40 (50%) cases. The combination of only periportal and peripancreatic lymph nodes was seen in 17 (21%) cases. Isolated periportal lymph nodes were seen in eight cases (10%) cases. The combination of only periportal and aortocaval lymph nodes was seen in four (5%) cases. Isolated peripancreatic lymph nodes were seen in three (3.7%) cases. The combination of periportal and aortocaval was seen in four (5%) cases followed by peripancreatic and aortocaval lymph nodes that was seen in two (2.5%) cases. Isolated aortocaval lymph nodes were seen in one (1.2%) case.  Conclusion Periportal lymph nodes were the single most commonly involved station followed by peripancreatic and aortocaval lymph nodes. The combination of periportal, peripancreatic, and aortocaval lymph nodes was seen most commonly. The second most commonly involved combination was found to be periportal and peripancreatic lymph nodes followed by isolated periportal lymph nodes.
