[Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis mimicking carcinoma of gallbladder].
Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis is an uncommon variant of chronic cholecystitis. Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis may best be regarded as a tumor-like condition and should be included in the differential diagnosis of gallbladder carcinoma. We present a case of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis which mimicked carcinoma of gallbladder.
