Introduction. The experimental study aimed to induce the acute alithiasic cholecystitis in 20 pigs, injecting L-α-Phosphatidylcholine in the gallbladder using laparoscopy. Materials and methods. After the induction the laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed after 3 and 7 days. Hematoxylin and eosin stain was done from the sections. Results. The histology emphasized the gallbladder’s inflamm...

A 55-year old man was treated with sunitinib 50 mg/day for 4 weeks on and 2 weeks off, as a first-line therapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. During the fourth week of the first cycle, he was admitted to the Emergency Department with abdominal pain and vomiting. Acute acalculous cholecystitis was diagnosed. Sunitnib-associated cholecystitis is a rare adverse event previously reported in f...

OBJECTIVES To describe four cases of an uncommon type of acalculous cholecystitis/cholangitis characterized by increased intraepithelial lymphocytes within the biliary epithelium. METHODS Cases were prospectively compiled during regular surgical pathology sign-out. Clinical information was obtained from the electronic medical record and the gross appearance from the surgical pathology reports...

The clinical presentation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection varies in patients with AIDS. We report a case of disseminated tuberculosis in an AIDS patient. The initial manifestation was masked by fluoroquinolone monotherapy, and subsequently complicated by acalculous cholecystitis and immune restoration syndrome after antiretroviral therapy.

Abstract Background SARS-COV-2 infection is known to cause tissue damage in several organs outside of the respiratory tract. The pathogenesis hypothesized be caused by direct viral damage, endothelial injury, and ischemic or thrombotic events. Gastrointestinal symptoms were first characterized mainly as diarrhea diffuse abdominal pain discomfort, which can hard interpret setting a generalized i...

The involvement of the gallbladder in systemic lymphoma is extremely rare. We report a challenging case of systemic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that initially presented with septic shock from acalculous cholecystitis. After extensive investigation, DLBCL was found to be the underlying cause of gallbladder disease.

Infection of the hepatobiliary system is most commonly due to enteric bacteria. We report three unusual cases of acute cholecystitis in which Staphylococcus aureus was the primary pathogen. Infection of the gallbladder with this organism has been rarely described and may be associated with gallstones and obstructive disease as well as acalculous cholecystitis in the setting of staphylococcal ba...
