Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare gallbladder disease. This study found XGC in 2.2% of cholecystectomies, with a higher risk of complications and potential cancer misdiagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is an uncommon inflammatory condition of the gallbladder.
  • It can mimic gallbladder cancer clinically and radiologically.
  • Understanding its presentation and outcomes is crucial for patient management.

Purpose:

  • To present a series of ten xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis cases.
  • To analyze the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and pathological findings.
  • To evaluate the postoperative complication rates associated with XGC.

Summary:

  • Ten cases of XGC (2.2% of 439 cholecystectomies) are reviewed, with equal gender distribution.
  • Clinical presentation varied, with suspicion of acute cholecystitis in 50% and gallbladder cancer in 30% preoperatively.

  • Pathological findings included early gallbladder carcinoma in two patients and a cholecystocolic fistula in one; one perforation occurred.
  • Postoperative septic complications were observed in 18.1% of cases, double the rate of elective biliary surgery.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the diagnostic difficulties of XGC, often mistaken for gallbladder cancer.
    • Suggests a higher incidence of postoperative complications in XGC patients.
    • Emphasizes the importance of thorough pathological examination to rule out malignancy.
