    Summary

    This study examines ten cases of acute cholecystitis without gallstones, highlighting specific etiologies. Emergency gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) is recommended as the optimal treatment, especially for severe cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Acute cholecystitis typically involves gallstones, but acalculous cases present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Understanding the diverse etiologies of acalculous cholecystitis is crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • The study reviewed ten cases of cholecystitis without gallstones.
    • Etiologies included typhic (2), primitive (6), postoperative (1), and posttraumatic (1).
    • Histologic examination revealed significant differences based on etiology.

    Findings:

    • Postoperative and posttraumatic acalculous cholecystitis cases showed a high frequency of gangrenous changes.
    • Previous antibiotic therapy did not appear to influence outcomes in these cases.
    • Histologic lesions were critical for differentiating etiologies.

    Implications:

    • Prompt surgical intervention, specifically emergency cholecystectomy, is the most effective treatment for acalculous cholecystitis.
    • Histopathological analysis aids in understanding disease progression and guiding treatment strategies.
    • This underscores the need for timely diagnosis and surgical management in complex cholecystitis cases.
