title: [Evaluation of clinical characteristics and morphological state of gallbladder in patients with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis].
abstract: There were studied the peculiarities of the state of patients with xantogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) using clinical and instrumental diagnostics performed in preoperative period as well as morphological state of the wall of removed gall-bladders. It was established that the prevalence of XGC among patients after cholecystectomy because of biliary calculosis is 0,93%. The frequency of XGC in women is three times higher than in men. There is prevalence of patients older than 50 years. The clinical period of XGC in men is twice shorter than among women and a polimorbid pathology is more often found in men than in women. XGC has no specific clinical signs. Morphologically the xantogranulomes are the combination of xanthom cells, lymphocytes and plasmocytes. To detail this process it is necessary to determine subpopulations of T- lymphocytes presented in the xantogranulome.
