چکیده
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com the last fifty years, 20 cases have been reported in the literature [1]. The decrease incidence of this complication is probably due to the technologic developments in imaging techniques, efficient use of broadspectrum antibiotics and impetuous and rational surgical management of the biliary tract diseases [2]. External fistulas of the biliary tract are extremely rare. These fistulas are usually secondary to the complicated gallstone diseases, or more rarely can be caused from malignancies such as cholangiocarcinoma and traumatic causes. In this study, we report a case of the cholecystocutaneous fistula which is due to a delayed surgical treatment of acute calculus cholecystitis.
