Gallbladder tuberculosis is rare but can manifest in various forms, including systemic or isolated disease. Diagnosis relies on suspicion, surgical findings, and histology, as specific signs are absent.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Gallbladder tuberculosis (GBT) is an uncommon presentation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
  • It can occur as part of disseminated disease or as an isolated finding.

Observation:

  • Analysis of 5 patients undergoing open cholecystectomy for suspected gallbladder disease was performed.
  • Literature review on gallbladder tuberculosis cases was conducted.

Findings:

  • GBT presents rarely, mimicking calculus cholecystitis in immunocompromised (anergic) individuals.
  • No pathognomonic clinical signs exist for GBT.
  • Diagnosis hinges on clinical suspicion, intraoperative observations, and definitive histological examination.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of GBT is crucial for timely diagnosis and appropriate management.
  • Histopathological analysis remains the gold standard for confirming gallbladder tuberculosis.
  • Further research may elucidate optimal diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for this rare condition.
