A 60-year-old male was suffered from right hypochondrial pain. He was admitted to our hospital because he suspected gallbladder abnormality by ultrasonography. Laboratory data including tumor markers was normal. US showed cholecystolithiasis. CT and MRCP showed septations in the entire area of the gallbladder. He underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In the operative findings, gallbladder was atrophic and elastic hard due to chronic inflammation. Pathological findings revealed that the inflammatory granuloma was formed in the stroma of the gallbladder wall, and the abscess was also formed. The diagnosis was multiseptate gallbladder with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis.
Multisepatate gallbladder is a rare congenital disease and there hardly ever has been reports. In addition, this case was complicated because xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis and gallbladder stone were involved. So far, this is the first case report of multisepatate gallbladder with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis and gallbladder stone. Therefore, herein we report with updated literatures.
