A Rare Presentation of Xanthogranulomatous Cholecystitis as Bouveret's Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to present sonographic and CT imaging findings of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) presented as Bouveret's syndrome, a very rare cause of gastric obstruction. While the patient's physical examination, upper GI endoscopy, and radiological findings all pointed to Bouveret's syndrome, CT differential diagnosis suggested either XGC or gallbladder carcinoma, and the final diagnosis was done histopathologically. Our paper aims to increase awareness in radiologically diagnosing XGC cases by introducing the possibility of existence of Bouveret's syndrome.

Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC), a rare form of chronic cholecystitis which fairly mimics gallbladder cancer, was first discovered and reported by McCoy et al. [1]. Although it is considered as benign disease but often reported its close association with gallbladder cancer (GBC) [2,3]. Clinical signs and symptoms are similar to acute and chronic cholecystitis, thus preoperative diagnosi...

Gastric outlet obstruction as a result of gallstone (Bouveret's syndrome) is a rare but serious complication of cholelithiasis. Although patients present with persistent vomiting, colicky epigastric pain and dehydration, the clinical features of the Bouveret's syndrome are not pathognomonic. Due to its rarity, the diagnosis and treatment represent a challenge for the surgeon. In most of the rep...

Objective: Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare, unusual and destructive form of chronic cholecystitis. It is clinically indistinguishable from other forms of cholecystitis and hence difficult to diagnose. Due to its propensity to form dense adhesions with stuctures surrounding the gall bladder and mimic malignancy of gall bladder intra-operatively, it’s difficult to manage. This r...
