Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (CXG) is a rare entity of cholecystitis, characterized by the presence of xanthogranulomas within the gallbladder wall, that could be misdiagnosed as a vesicular carcinoma. We report a case of 66-year-old man with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis associated with an incidental finding of a fusion of the planes of the liver which is a rare anatomic variant. Imaging especially ultrasounds, CT scan, and MRI play a key role in the characterization of those anomaly, thus avoiding a non-suitable surgical procedure.
黄色肉芽肿性胆囊炎(CXG)是一种罕见的胆囊炎类型,其特征是胆囊壁内存在黄色肉芽肿,可能被误诊为胆囊癌。我们报告一例66岁男性患有黄色肉芽肿性胆囊炎,并偶然发现肝脏平面融合,这是一种罕见的解剖变异。影像学检查,尤其是超声、CT扫描和MRI,在这些异常的特征性诊断中起着关键作用,从而避免不适当的手术操作。
