Cutaneous metastasis (CM) is an uncommon manifestation of visceral malignancies. Adenosquamous carcinoma of the gallbladder is a rare variation in gallbladder carcinoma (GBC), associated with worse prognosis. We present the case of a 56-year-old woman who presented with an inflamed lump on her abdominal wall. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a large mass from the gallbladder invading the abdom...

Eosinophilic cholecystitis (EC) is a rare inflammatory condition of the gallbladder, confirmed by a cellular infiltrate comprised of more than 90% eosinophils in the gallbladder wall on histological examination. Although the etiology of EC is largely unknown, local autoimmune reactions within the gallbladder wall to inflammatory mediators from distal sites of inflammation have been hypothesized...

Emphysematous cholecystitis is an uncommon complication of calculous cholecystitis due to secondary infection of gallbladder wall with gas-forming enteric organisms. It carries high morbidity and mortality to the patients and a rapid and early diagnosis is essential in patient’s clinical outcomes. Ultrasonography is usually the first and foremost test performed in cases of suspected biliary dis...

BackgroundThe differentiation of benign and malignant gallbladder wall thickening is challenging. The purpose this study to evaluate a new sonographic sign, "cervix sign" for neck thickening.Participants procedureThis retrospective comprised consecutive patients with who underwent sonography between August 2019 December 2021. presence “cervix sign” was assessed by two radiologists independently...

Gallbladder torsion with ischemic wall necrosis is a rare condition, as gallbladder herniation. We describe here an original case of a patient with a symptomatic incisional hernia containing a gangrenous gallbladder twisted about its pedicle. We report preoperative findings on CT-scan and emergency surgical management.

The concentrations of piperacillin in serum, bile, gallbladder wall, abdominal skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue were measured simultaneously at various times after the intravenous administration of a single 5-g dose to each of 14 patients undergoing biliary tract surgery. Piperacillin concentrated in the bile with peak levels exceeding 4,000 micrograms/ml. In a single patient with cystic duc...
