Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XC), a gallbladder inflammation, is more common than previously thought. This study identified three distinct subtypes: multinodular, focal, and diffuse XC based on microscopic analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XC) is a chronic gallbladder inflammation.
  • Histologically, XC features foamy histiocytes within the inflammatory infiltrate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of XC.
  • To classify XC subtypes based on histological patterns.
  • To discuss etiopathogenetic hypotheses for XC.

Main Methods:

  • Review of 63 XC cases from 1207 surgically removed gallbladders.
  • Detailed microscopic examination of histological features.
  • Analysis of inflammatory infiltrate distribution patterns.

Main Results:

  • XC prevalence was 5.2%, higher than previously reported.
  • Three histological subtypes were identified: multinodular, focal, and diffuse XC.
  • Varied distribution patterns of inflammatory infiltrate were observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • XC is less uncommon than generally believed.
    • Histological classification into multinodular, focal, and diffuse subtypes is proposed.
    • Further discussion on the etiopathogenesis of XC is warranted.
