Extramedullary involvement in early stage chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is rare. We report the first case of an incidental finding of gall bladder infiltration in a patient who underwent a cholecystectomy for gallstone pancreatitis with no preceding history of CLL. This case reiterates the importance of subjecting even routine cholecystectomy specimens for histopathology examination in the context of this unusual presentation.
早期慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)的髓外浸润很少见。我们报告了首例偶然发现胆囊浸润的病例,该患者因胆结石性胰腺炎接受胆囊切除术,之前并无CLL病史。该病例再次强调了在这种不寻常表现的情况下,即使是常规胆囊切除标本也需进行组织病理学检查的重要性。
