We present an interesting case of acute acalculous cholecystitis which was diagnosed as cystic duct cancer after endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). A 63-year-old man visited to an emergency room (ER) because of right upper quadrant (RUQ) abdominal pain. The patient had fever up to 38.2℃ and tenderness at RUQ abdomen. The Murphy’s sign was positive. Laboratory tests showed elevated white blood cell count and abnormal liver function test. The computed tomography scan revealed a distended gallbladder with inflammation without gallstone. Emergent gallbladder drainage was performed at ER. The cholecystogram via percutaneous tube and EUS revealed hypoechoic intraluminal mass at cystic duct. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed at first, and the frozen pathologic examination revealed adenocarcinoma in the cystic duct. The extended cholecystectomy was performed after a month and there was no residual tumor in the liver bed and lymph nodes. The final staging of GBC was revealed as pT2N0M0.

The abscess is a common complication of Crohn’s disease (CD), with the perianal form more frequent than gluteal or presacral which is relatively rare. There are few case reports of gluteal abscess combined with presacral abscess caused by CD and the treatment has not been established. A 21-year-old male was admitted with right buttock and lower back pain with a duration of 3 months. He had a history of CD in the small intestine diagnosed 10 months previously. He had poor compliance and had not returned for follow-up care during the previous 6 months. Abdominopelvic CT indicated newly developed multiple abscess pockets in right gluteal region, including piriformis muscle and presacral space. Additionally, fistula tracts between small bowel loops and presacral space were observed. Patient’s CD was moderate activity (273.12 on the Crohn’s Disease Activity Index [CDAI]). Treatment was started with piperacillin/tazobactam antibiotic but patient developed a fever and abscess extent was aggravated. Therefore, surgical incision and drainage was performed and 4 Penrose drains were inserted. Patient’s pain and fever were resolved following surgery. Infliximab was then administered for the remaining fistulas. After the induction regimen, multiple fistula tracts improved and patient went into remission (CDAI was -0.12).
