Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis mimicking gallbladder cancer on (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan

The abnormal thickening of the gallbladder (GB) wall can be caused by a malignant condition like gallbladder carcinoma or by benign lesions such as chronic cholecystitis or xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC). Mural thickening is a common finding between them as fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) can be t...

description The abnormal thickening of the gallbladder (GB) wall can be caused by a malignant condition like gallbladder carcinoma or by benign lesions such as chronic cholecystitis or xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC). Mural thickening is a common finding between them as fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) can be taken up by inflammatory cells also. Here, we present a patient with irregular thickening of the GB wall which was suspected to of GB carcinoma since FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan showed increased tracer uptake in the lesion. However, after surgery the histopathological report was suggestive of XGC.
