Eosinophilic cholecystitis:
An infrequent cause of cholecystectomyKamran Ahmad Malik
ABSTRACT
Eosinophilic cholecystitis is a rare condition with obscure etiology. They are diagnosed histopathologically on resected specimens. We report a similar case confirmed on histopathology of a 49 years old diabetic lady who underwent routine elective cholecystectomy for chronic cholecystitis due to gall stones. The rarity of the condition prompted us to report this entity.
