Abstract
- We present a case of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis which involved the liver and clinically mimicked gallbladder carcinoma, and review the associated literature. A 72- year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of intermittent, right upper quadrant, abdominal pain. Computed tomography showed a large-mass in the gallbladder with findings that seemed to indicate invasion of the liver. During laparotomy, the gallbladder showed signs of chronic cholecystitis, and a cholecystectomy was performed. Histopathological diagnosis was xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis.
