Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis: a review of 31 patients
Background Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare inflammatory gallbladder disease which is difficult to diagnose and treat; XGC may be confused with gallbladder cancer. The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiological features and surgical outcomes, with the aim to determine the appropriate treatment approaches for XGC. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the clinical characteristics, intraoperative findings, and postoperative outcomes of 31 patients (2.0%) who were diagnosed with XGC based on histopathological findings among 1513 patients who underwent cholecystectomy at our hospital between January 2010 and July 2019. Results Preoperative ultrasonography and computed tomography findings indicated acute cholecystitis, chronic cholecystitis, and suspicious XGC in 26 (83.9%) patients with thickening of the gallbladder wall and suspicious gallbladder cancer in 5 (16.1%) patients. Abdominal pain and jaundice were observed in 18 (58.1%) patients and 5 (16.1%) patients, respectively. Biliary drainage before surgery was performed in 21 (67.7%) patients. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which was performed in 23 (74.2%) patients, was converted to open cholecystectomy in 12 (52.2%) of these 23 patients. Among the patients with other diseases treated during the study period, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in 1377 patients and converted to open surgery in 71 (5.2%) patients. Five patients with suspicious gallbladder cancer underwent open surgery. In these patients, intraoperative frozen section analysis was useful in distinguishing between XGC and gallbladder cancer and was important in avoiding unnecessarily extended surgery. Conclusion Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for XGC is possible, but often difficult due to severe inflammation. The frequency of conversion to open surgery is higher in patients with XGC than those with other forms of cholecystitis. XGC may resemble gallbladder cancer based on the diagnostic imaging findings, and intraoperative frozen section analysis is essential to avoid unnecessarily extended surgery..
