2024年9月5日 · Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is an uncommon inflammatory disease of the gallbladder that may be difficult to differentiate from malignancy, both on imaging and pathologically. It is characterized by the presence of multiple intramural nodules.

Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is an uncommon variant of chronic cholecystitis characterized by xanthogranulomatous inflammation of the gallbladder. Intramural accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages and acute and chronic …

2021年8月1日 · XGC is a rare and benign form of cholecystitis, characterized histologically by the presence of xanthogranulomas in the gallbladder wall. Its pseudo-tumoral presentation may incorrectly evoke GBC. MRI is the most specific pre-operative investigation.

2015年5月8日 · Abdominal Radiology - The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of HRUS, CT, and MRI for differentiating xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) from gallbladder (GB)...

2009年1月24日 · To retrospectively evaluate CT findings of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) and to measure diagnostic performance for distinguishing it from gallbladder (GB) cancer. Our institutional review board approved this retrospective study.

2020年7月27日 · Coexisting of diffuse gallbladder wall thickening, hypo-attenuated intramural nodules, continuous mucosal line, luminal surface enhancement, and gallbladder stone highly suggest XGC. XGC frequently infiltrate liver and surrounding fat. Chemical-shift MRI helps classifying intramural nodules in the g …

2024年7月11日 · Background: Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare, chronic gallbladder inflammation often mistaken for gallbladder cancer (GBC) on imaging. Accurate differentiation is vital for appropriate treatment. This study aims to enhance computed tomography (CT) scan diagnostic accuracy for distinguishing XGC from GBC.

2023年6月28日 · Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is an uncommon variant of chronic cholecystitis characterised by focal or diffuse destructive inflammatory process of the gallbladder. It’s marked by severe fibrosis, thickening of the gallbladder wall, and a pronounced macrophage response that often extends into adjacent structures.

Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare inflammatory disease of the gallbladder characterized by severe proliferative fibrosis and the accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages in areas of destructive inflammation. Misdiagnosis is highly usual, and its macroscopic appearance may often be confused with gallbladder carcinoma.

Xanthogranulomatous cholangitis is an even rarer entity, with a prevalence of 0.6%. It manifests as biliary strictures with associated wall thickening, and is indistinguishable from infiltrative cholangiocarcinoma. We present a unique case of xanthogranulomatous cholangitis in the …
