Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is an uncommon inflammatory ailment impacting the gallbladder. It is distinguished by the infiltration of lipid-laden macrophages, resulting in a yellowish hue, along with persistent inflammation. Regarded as a more aggressive variant of chronic cholecystitis, a prevalent inflammatory condition of the gallbladder, Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis showcases distinctive characteristics. Despite its infrequency, Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis underscores the significance of swift and accurate diagnosis. The inflammatory alterations linked to XGC may give rise to severe complications, necessitating surgical intervention to alleviate symptoms and impede further advancement of the disease. This investigation endeavors to elucidate our encounters with 15 cases, contributing to the understanding of this rare condition. |
