ABSTRACT
Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis is an uncommon destructive inflammatory disease with accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages, fibrous tissue, and inflammatory cells. It is often mistaken for gallbladder cancer due to diffuse wall thickening of gallbladder and infiltration into neighboring organs. And it is usually difficult to distinguish xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis from gallbladder cancer based on clinical, radiographic, or laboratory testing. Patients with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis often undergo cholecystectomy to confirm the diagnosis, and to exclude gallbladder cancers. We report a case of 69-year-old woman with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis who had been treated with steroid and avoided extended resection.
