Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2016, Vol 20, Issue 2
Abstract
Eosinophilic cholecystitis (EC) is a rare entity. It was first described in 1960. The diagnosis is based on symptoms of cholecystitis with the presence of more than 90% eosinophilic infiltration within the wall of gallbladder. The etiology of EC still remains unknown. EC can occur alone or in combination with hypereosinophilic syndromes and parasitic infestations. This report describes a case of EC who presented with malena and obstructive jaundice. After thorough workup patient underwent open cholecystectomy with CBD exploration and truncal vegotomy with pyloroplasty for choledocholithiasis and multiple gastric ulcer. Histopathological study showed Eosinophilic cholecystitis. We are reporting this case because of its rarity and to emphasize the need of complete work up to rule out associated diseases.
