The Clinicopathologic Evaluation of Eosinophilic Cholecystitis: A Retrospective Observational Study in a Tertiary Care Center

Background: Eosinophilic cholecystitis (EC) is a rare form of that diagnosed histopathologically. The aim this study to evaluate the patient demographic features, laboratory findings and histopathologic characteristics EC. EC.
 Design setting: Retrospective observational conducted in Erzurum, Turkey.
 Methods: Between June 2014 2017 3,178 cholecystectomy specimens were reviewed retrospectively. Nineteen EC cases included study. Parameters such as sex, age, clinical information, obtained from information system hospital. And data group compared with control 50 non-specific chronic patients (CC).
 Result: Out specimens, 19 (0.59%). Patients’ age ranged 22-84 years female male ratio was 1.7:1. average eosinophil count 139.7 U/L group. 11.7% had high level for eosinophils. In there statistical significances between percentages aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) values (P<0.05, P<0.05). levels slightly higher than CC. Histopathologically, dense, severe infiltrates composed eosinophils seen.
 Conclusion: entity can only by histopathology. There certain liver function tests correlation cholecystitis. Although presentation may be similar cholecystitis, if postoperative histopathological diagnosis made, then must investigated thoroughly rule out other associated disease conditions.
