We present a rare case of acute cholecystitis in a 51-year-old patient. The gallbladder exhibited bone metaplasia, a condition infrequently observed in clinical practice. Acute cholecystitis was confirmed through clinical, radiological, and biological investigations, and the patient underwent cholecystectomy. Histopathological analysis of the surgical specimen revealed bone metaplasia in the gallbladder wall, a phenomenon associated with chronic inflammation due to gallstones. This article highlights the significance of post-surgical histopathological evaluation and discusses follow-up options for such rare conditions.
我们报告一例51岁患者的罕见急性胆囊炎病例。胆囊呈现骨化生,这种情况在临床实践中很少见。通过临床、影像学和生物学检查确诊为急性胆囊炎,该患者接受了胆囊切除术。手术标本的组织病理学分析显示胆囊壁存在骨化生,这一现象与胆结石引起的慢性炎症有关。本文强调了术后组织病理学评估的重要性,并讨论了此类罕见病症的随访方案。
