[A Case of Xanthogranulomatous Cholecystitis That Changed Over Time and Was Difficult to Distinguish from Advanced Gallbladder Cancer].
Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2017 November
A 70-year-old man was referred because of suspected gallbladder cancer and gallstones. Contrast-enhanced CT, EOB-MRI and PET-CT could not completely rule out gallbladder cancer. The patient preferred follow-up without surgery. At 4 months after initial examination, the gallbladder wall thickening showed improvement, but appeared worse at 9 months after initial examination. Therefore, we decided to perform surgery. Since malignant findings were not observed on rapid intraoperative pathology, we performed a cholecystectomy and right hemicolectomy because of inflammation in the transverse colon. Pathological examination diagnosed xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis. The imaging appearance of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis varies, and also changes over time, making it difficult to distinguish from advanced gallbladder cancer. We experienced a case of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis that changed over time, and report this case with a review of the literature.
