Tuberculosis of the gallbladder is a rare condition, even in endemic regions. Diagnosis often requires surgical findings and histopathology, especially when co-occurring with gallstones.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Gallbladder tuberculosis is an uncommon manifestation of tuberculosis, particularly in regions where tuberculosis is endemic.
  • Diagnosis relies on clinical suspicion, intraoperative findings, and definitive histopathological examination.
  • The interplay between gallstones (cholelithiasis) and the development of tuberculous lesions in the gallbladder is a key area of investigation.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of gallbladder tuberculosis in a female patient presenting with symptoms of chronic cholelithiasis.
  • The patient's condition was diagnosed definitively as gallbladder tuberculosis post-operatively through histopathological analysis.
  • The case highlights the potential role of gallstones and non-specific inflammatory changes in facilitating tuberculous infection in the gallbladder.

Findings:

  • Gallbladder tuberculosis is rare, even in endemic areas.
  • Diagnosis is challenging and often confirmed post-surgically via histopathology.
  • Co-existing gallstones may play a role in the pathogenesis of gallbladder tuberculosis.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness and diagnostic vigilance for gallbladder tuberculosis are necessary, especially in endemic zones.
  • Understanding the physiopathology, including the role of lithiasis, is crucial for early detection and management.
  • This case underscores the importance of histopathological confirmation in diagnosing rare tuberculous infections.
