DOI: 10.1007/s00464-017-5604-z
Abstract: BackgroundXanthogranulomatous cholecystitis is an inflammatory disease with pathologically distinct characteristics such as accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages, fibrous tissue, and acute and chronic inflammatory cells. It often involves adjacent organs and mimics gallbladder cancer. The purpose… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13193-017-0677-7
Abstract: Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is an uncommon variant of chronic cholecystitis, characterized by focal or diffuse destructive inflammatory process. The importance of XGC is that it mimics gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) both preoperatively and intra-operatively, since it… read more here.

Abstract: Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare form of cholecystitis, characterized by the presence of xanthogranuloma, prominent yellow structures within the gallbladder wall that is very often lithiasic. When XGC presents in its pseudo-tumoral form with occasional… read more here.

Abstract: Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is an uncommon inflammatory disease of the gallbladder. We report a case of XGC with elevated activity of 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI (fibroblast activating protein inhibitor), which mimics malignancy. Our case suggests that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12893-025-03097-z
Abstract: Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis is a rare benign pathology that can mimic gallbladder cancer. Due to inflammation-related adhesions in the gallbladder, cholecystectomy can be particularly challenging in these patients, and the conversion rates from laparoscopy to open… read more here.

Abstract: Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare form of chronic inflammatory disease that is often mistaken for gallbladder (GB) cancer. Differential diagnosis based on clinical features or imaging scan is virtually impossible and pathological confirmation is… read more here.
