Patients with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis often undergo excessive surgical resections because of difficulty in distinguishing their condition from gallbladder cancer. Herein we present a patient with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis mimicking stage IVA gallbladder cancer who underwent a

The oncologic safety and feasibility of laparoscopic radical cholecystectomy for a preoperatively suspected gallbladder cancer is continually being challenged even in an era of minimally invasive surgery. A seventy-four-year-old woman was presented in the outpatient department with a history of

We report a case of a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-producing gallbladder tumor associated with fever in a middle-aged female. Preoperative blood analysis showed leukocytosis with elevated levels of C-reactive protein and G-CSF. We resected the liver at S4a＋S5, with regional lymph

OBJECTIVE Gallbladder cancer is common in Pakistan and has an extremely poor prognosis. Treatment is primarily surgical. Chemotherapy is frequently used in patients with advanced disease.
