eosinophilic cholecystitis associated with papillary hyperplasia of gall bladder

Eosinophilic Cholecystitis Associated with Papillary Hyperplasia of Gall Bladder

Eosinophilic cholecystitis (EC) is a rare entity that presents in a manner comparable to acute cholecystitis. The diagnosis is based on classical symptoms of cholecystitis with the presence of eosinophils (>90%) within the gallbladder. EC has been reported alone (idiopathic EC) or in combination with manifestations such as eosinophilic cholangitis, hypereosinophilic syndromes, and parasitic inf...

Papillary mucinous adenoma arising in adenomyomatous hyperplasia of the gall bladder.

A case of papillary mucinous adenoma arising in adenomyomatous hyperplasia (AMH) of the gall bladder is reported. The lesion was unsuspected and discovered by routine palpation of the gall bladder during laparotomy. The adenoma developed within fundal AMH and showed cytological atypia. This case illustrates that neoplastic proliferation is indeed possible in AMH and challenges the classical opi...

A rare case of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis mimicking gall bladder carcinoma

Received: December 28, 2013 Received in revised form: January 10, 2014 Accepted: January 25, 2014 Available online: February 26, 2014 ABSTRACT Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis is an unusual form of benign chronic cholecystitis with focal or diffuse destructive inflammatory process characterized by thickened fibrotic disrupted gall bladder wall with fo in the fact that it may simulate malignanc...

Prostaglandin E2 formation by the gall bladder in experimental cholecystitis.

Both experimental cholecystitis and luminal distension inhibit fluid absorption and stimulate motor activity in the gall bladder. These functional alterations are mimicked by exogenous prostaglandins (PGs) and inhibited by potent cyclooxygenase inhibitors, but direct evidence of a primary role of endogenous PGs is not available. Therefore, experiments in the cat were carried out in which the ef...

Eosinophilic myositis Associated with Sarcocystis in Sheep

Frequency of gall bladder carcinoma in patients with acute and chronic cholecystitis.

BACKGROUND Gallbladder carcinoma is a relatively uncommon neoplasm which is more common in the seventh decade of life compared to that of cholelithiasis which is in the fourth decade. The objective of the study was to determine the frequency of carcinoma gall bladder in cases of acute and chronic cholecystitis particularly with reference to cholelithiasis. METHODS This cross-sectional observa...
