ABSTRACT
Background:
To revisit the nomenclature, prevalence, histogenesis and the diagnostic dilemmas in cases of cholecystitis with lymphoid hyperplasia received in a private laboratory in one-year duration.Methods:
A total of 51 cases of cholecystectomy were examined histopathologically to identify and review all the cases with emphasis on cholecystitis with marked lymphoid infiltration.Results:
Out of 51 cholecystectomy specimens, some rare entities were observed such as 4 cases (8%) of xanthomatous change, 2 cases (4%) of cholecystitis with follicular lymphoid hyperplasia and a case of hyalinizing cholecystitis.Conclusions:
The literature on cholecystitis with marked lymphoid infiltrate (with or without follicle formation) was overlapping and thus confusing. The same has been simplified with review of literature.
