Abstract
We report the case of a 39-year-old male presenting with acute onset vomiting and diarrhoea. Initially treated empirically for gastroenteritis, imaging later confirmed a complicated episode of cholecystitis with fistular formation and intra-abdominal cyst. Following cholecystectomy, histology confirmed a case of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC). This paper presents a detailed summary of the condition alongside a literature review of all available episodes of XGC since 2017 with the aim of highlighting diagnostic conclusions regarding the nature of the disease and its clinical manifestations.
