A Case of Xanthogranulomatous Cholecystitis Mimicking Malignancy
Abstract
Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis is a chronic disease characterized with irregular wall thickening of the gallbladder. Severe proliferative fibrosis, pericholecystic infiltration and inflammation are seen on the gallbladder. This disease usually appears together with cholelithiasis, mostly at the age of 60-70 and mainly seen on female patients. Recurrent inflammatory attacks caused by stones and biliar stasis may take place in the etiology. Due to its presence and macroscopic look xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis can be mixed easily with gallbladder malignancies. Before or during surgery it is of high importance to make the right diagnosis so that the patient is saved from unnecessary major surgeries and their complications afterwards. Final diagnosis is established with histopathological results. This article reports along with literature about a case with the prediagnosis cholelithiasis, but difficulty in the differential diagnosis intraoperative, and after this the postoperative final diagnosis with histopathological examination.
