Abstract:
Objective To study the etiology,diagnosis and treatment of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC).Methods Clinical data of 78 cases with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (confirmed by postoperative pathology) from January 1985 to December 2012 were reviewed retrospectively.Results All 78 cases underwent ultrasonography,50 cases did CT scan.Preoperative diagnosis included chronic calculous cholecystitis in 60 cases,gallbladder carcinoma with cholelithiasis in 8 cases,gallbladder space-occupying lesions in 10 cases.Among those 68 cases of tentative gallstone disease,67 cases were with gallbladder neck incarcerated stones.Surgery were performed in all 78 cases including cholecystectomy in 48 cases,partial cholecystectomy or subtotal resection in 13 eases,cholecystectomy with partial hepatic wedge resection in 12 cases.Intraoperatively 5 cases were misdiagnosed as the carcinoma of the gallbladder and underwent partial liver resection along with cholecystectomy.17 cases underwent choledocholithotomy.2 cases suffered from hepatic duct injury and received Roux-en-Y hepatojejunal anastomosis.Conclusions XGC is a special type of chronic cholecystitis,and accompanied by yellow granuloma formation.Preoperative diagnosis of XGC is often difficult,the definite diagnosis depends on intraoperative fiozen and postoperative paraffin pathology.
