Abstract

An extremely uncommon condition that manifests as calculous or acalculous cholecystitis is gallbladder tuberculosis (GBTB). It is challenging to make an accurate preoperative diagnosis of GBTB, and this literature survey emphasizes that postcholecystectomy or postmortem diagnosis is the norm in the majority of patients. Although GBTB is a very rare condition, people from endemic areas who have risk factors including a history of tuberculosis or underlying immunosuppression should be suspected of having it. Since radiography lacks pathognomic features, gallbladder tuberculosis is only diagnosed through histology of the removed specimen. Here, we detail an extremely unique case of gallbladder tuberculosis that was unexpectedly discovered during histopathological examination.
