title: [Pseudotumoral gallbladder tuberculosis].
abstract: Gallblader tuberculosis is uncommon and may mimic a neoplasia. We report a 55-year-old man who presented with fever and abdominal pain compatible with cholecystitis. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomographic scan showed a tumoral aspect of the bottom of the gallbladder and invasion of adjacent liver. Diagnosis of pseudo-tumoral gallbladder tuberculosis was obtained with the histologic examination of surgical sampling. Disease course was uneventful with appropriate antituberculous therapy.
