Secondary involvement of the
gallbladder by systemic
lymphoma is exceedingly rare and relapsed
diffuse large B cell lymphoma of the
gallbladder has not been reported. A 78-year-old man was admitted to the
hospital due to epigastric
pain and
jaundice. His past medical
history was remarkable for
diagnosis with
diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the
ileum 5 years ago. He underwent right
hemicolectomy and three cycles of
adjuvant chemotherapy and had complete remission. Abdominal computed
tomography showed
choledocholithiasis and focal thickening at fundus of the
gallbladder. The
patient underwent open
cholecystectomy. Pathologic examination revealed
diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. We
report a case of solitary, relapsed
diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the
gallbladder with
literature review.
