title: Acute acalculous cholecystitis.
abstract: Acute acalculous cholecystitis is now well recognised but is almost certainly not an homogeneous entity. The recognition of at least two sub-groups would appear to enhance the clinical perspective of this problem and facilitate on-going study and discussion. Two cases representing one of these sub-sets are reported, and both varieties are described.
