The purpose of this paper is to present sonographic and CT imaging findings of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) presented as Bouveret's syndrome, a very rare cause of gastric obstruction. While the patient's physical examination, upper GI endoscopy, and radiological findings all pointed to Bouveret's syndrome, CT differential diagnosis suggested either XGC or gallbladder carcinoma, and the final diagnosis was done histopathologically. Our paper aims to increase awareness in radiologically diagnosing XGC cases by introducing the possibility of existence of Bouveret's syndrome.
本文旨在呈现表现为布韦雷氏综合征的黄色肉芽肿性胆囊炎(XGC)的超声和CT影像表现,布韦雷氏综合征是胃梗阻的一种极为罕见的病因。尽管患者的体格检查、上消化道内镜检查及影像学检查结果均指向布韦雷氏综合征,但CT鉴别诊断提示可能为XGC或胆囊癌,最终通过组织病理学检查确诊。我们的论文旨在通过介绍存在布韦雷氏综合征的可能性,提高对XGC病例进行放射学诊断的认识。
