Background: Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis XGC is a rare variant of Cholecystitis characterized by extensive inflammation and Fibrosis and associated with more complicated presentation like invading other organs and fistula formation. it could mimic Underlying malignancy like Gallbladder Cancer GBC. Challenges started by difficulty of diagnosis pre operatively due to multi factors include less threshold of diagnosis, which can lead to over treatment if GBC suspected. Gallstones plays major role in pathogenesis of most variant of Cholecystitis and can be trigger for GBC. Case presentation: we report 2 cases with different pre-operative course, both cases managed with laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and Histopathology showed Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis XGC. Discussion: recent cases reported for XCG usually occurs in 5th and 6th decades and presented with multiple presentation and could be missed diagnosis, laboratory and radiological investigations can offer a limited diagnosis if not interpreted by expertise. Management can vary from simple laparoscopic cholecystectomy -as in our cases – and can extend to major en block resection.

Background: Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis is a rarely encountered chronic inflammatory condition presenting with severely proliferated fibrotic tissue. It usually spreads the neighboring organs, imitates gallbladder cancer and may lead to difficulty in cholecystectomy. Objectives: The present study was directed towards reviewing the results of medical examinations and surgery for xan-thogranulomatous cholecystitis and providing proper surgical treatment for patients with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis. Methods: This is an observational study in which clinical features of thirty six patients with diagnosis of cholecystitis who were operated in our institute between 2012 and 2019 and found as xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis on pathology were analyzed. Results: The rate of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis in cholecystectomy patients was found to be 0.6 % (36/5999) in the hospital where this study was performed over 7 years. Xanthogranu-lomatous cholecystitis was not accompanied by gallbladder carcinoma in any of these cases. Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis could not be diagnosed in any of the patients prior to surgery. Radiological imaging performed before surgery demonstrated cholelithiasis in 29 patients (80.6 %), thickening of the gallbladder wall in 28 patients (77.8%), and suspicious cancer in two patients (5.6%). However, none of the cases of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis had concomitant gallbladder cancer. Nine (25%) patients underwent open cholecystectomy and Twenty seven patients (75 %) were scheduled to have laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but six of these patients (16,8%) were converted to open cholecystectomy. Conclusion: To conclude, it is still difficult to distinguish xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis from other gallbladder diseases both before and during surgery. The gallbladder commonly adheres to the neighboring organs and tissues and make surgical treatment difficult. A challenging laparoscopy is commonly converted to open surgery, which results in higher rates of complications as compared with standard open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Abstract Background The intracystic papillary neoplasm (ICPN) is a newly established disease concept. It has been regarded as a preinvasive neoplastic lesion, similar to intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas. Limited information is available on the clinical and imaging features of ICPN. Case presentation A 65-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for assessment of a gallbladder tumor. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a papillary tumor in the fundus of the gallbladder with irregular thickening of the gallbladder wall that spread into the cystic duct. The boundary between the tumor and liver was unclear. The patient was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer with liver invasion. We performed extended cholecystectomy with liver bed resection after confirming the absence of cancer cells in the resection margin of the cystic duct. After pathological examination, the tumor was diagnosed as an ICPN with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 8 with no complications. Conclusions We have described a rare case of ICPN concomitant with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis. Clinicians should include ICPN as a differential diagnosis in patients with a papillary or polypoid tumor in the gallbladder.

AbstractChronic follicular cholecystitis (CFC) is a rare pathology characterized by prominent lymphoid follicles in the lamina propria distributed throughout the gallbladder wall. It has also been mentioned in the literature as lymphoid hyperplasia and pseudolymphoma. CFC represents less than 2% of cholecystectomies. Its etiopathology is mostly unknown. Most reports are based on histopathological findings, with little or no imaging analysis. We describe a case involving a 66-year-old man radiologically diagnosed as xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) versus malignancy, revealing CFC with surrounding inflammatory changes in the cholecystectomy specimen.
